The aim of my thesis was to find out the readiness of the South Bohemian Emergency Medical Service to deal with a potential extraordinary event of radiological nature. The content of the bachelor thesis is to analyze professional, material and technical readiness. The theoretical part deals with characteristics of integrated rescue system, exceptional events, ionising radiation and, last but not least, pre-hospital urgent care for irradiated persons. The practical part of the bachelor's thesis investigated the level of rediness of the Emergency Medical Service of the South Bohemian Region both in professional and material and technical level. There were two hypotheses in the thesis, H1: "Medical rescuers have knowledge how to treat patients contaminated with radiological agens," and H2: "The emergency medical service has material equipment for the treatment of patients contaminated with radiological agents." In order to achieve defined goals and to verify hypotheses, a questionnaire was put together and a survey was carried out. A statistical investigation was made using descriptive and mathematical statistics. The questionnaire consisted of closed questions. It contained 11 informative questions, 9 questions focused on problematics of treating patients contaminated with radiological agens, and 4 questions focused on the material and technical equipment of the medical rescue service. Respondents' questions were addressed with 3-5 possible answers, only one of which was correct. Data was collected during March 2017. Respondents were members of medical staff of the South Bohemian Emergency Medical Service. Sixty anonymous questionnaires were distributed in the South Bohemian Region, more precisely in the territorial centre České Budějovice and the regional resorts Jindřichův Hradec, Český Krumlov and Tábor. Total of 42 respondents participated in the survey. The results of the survey show that the knowledge of paramedic in this area is below average. The arithmetic mean of knowledge was 5.79 points out of 9, for material and technical equipment it was 1.79 points out of 2. The results of the survey show that the goals of the thesis were fulfilled, one (it intended hypotheses H1: Medical rescuers have knowledge how to treat patients contaminated with radiological agens) hypotheses was rejected and one (it inteded hypotheses H2: The emergency medical service has material equipment for the treatment of patients contaminated with radiological agents) accepted. The benefit of the bachelor thesis is mainly the preparation of a basic comprehensive overview of the readiness and materiál and technical support of the South Bohemian Emergency Medical Service for the treatment of patients contaminated with radiological agents. |
