The purpose of this study is to show the need for placing the teaching of accident prevention and first-aid into the curricula of all public schools of the State of Texas on a compulsory basis and to prescribe definite criteria for the work.

Human life is too precious to be lost. The rules of the first aid are not complicated. The knowledge of resuscitation is the basic principle of the first aid. You don't need only theoretical knowledge to do the right resuscitation. It is necessary to have a some practical experience. The experience of resuscitation is possible to get on a tutorial trainer manikin. This work considers a concept of system for analysing training of resuscitation by using computer. The first part of this thesis describes the right process of resuscitation by guidelines of European Resuscitation Council for Resuscitation 2005. The other part deals with possible ways of monitoring the correct procedure of instant resuscitation and the most common mistakes made by trainees during the training, are described in the following parts of this work. Component part of this thesis is summary of available resuscitation models. Last part is dedicated to the design of hardware and software for rating quality of resuscitation process. Resuscitation trainer manikin AmbuMAN from the company Ambu was also used. Among others contains "first aid" test as well.

First aid is defined as a set of simple procedures that effectively reduce the extants or consequences of the threats to health or life. The first aid procedures are defined in the so- called Guidelines published by the European Resuscition Council (ERC) every five years. Even so, wrong procedures and myths are still present in the population. These could endanger peoples' health or cause death. In this diploma thesis, these incorrect procedures are called misconceptions. The aim of the thesis is to analyze the present misconceptions among general population and teachers in the Czech Republic, their dispersion and sources. The outcomes of this study are compared with results of the Czech Elementary school and Grammar school teachers determined by Zvěřinová (2018). Secondary aim is to analyze dissemination of misconceptions among the respondents from general public that had some first aid training in their life and to find out, if the extant of the training is relevant. Also, the level of first aid training at all levels of education is assessed. The research was realized by an online questionnaire. The main part of the questionnaire contains 10 case studies and the respondents decide on accuracy of the given solutions. The research sample consists of 1 046 respondents from three categories...

The University Medical Center in Tucson, Arizona developed and implemented a procedure-specific Limitation of Medical Care (LMC) form on December 1, 1989 to address medical futility and lack of clarity in do-not-attempt-resuscitation (DNAR) orders. A retrospective review of two years of data, with 300 usable responses, showed an increased amount of participation by patients and their surrogates in the DNAR decision with the LMC form. Use of the form was also associated with an increased number of medical interventions specified to be withheld after a DNAR or LMC order was written. There was no decrease in expenditures or length of survival associated with use of the form, nor was there a decrease in the number of codes called for patients who had an order that resuscitation was not to be attempted. An average $13,347 of charges were accrued in the ICU for patients in the pre-form group, $4,314 on average being after a DNAR order was written. An average $21,957 of charges were accrued in the ICU for patients in the post-form group, $8,733 on average being after a DNAR order was written. An average $20,523 of total charges were accrued for patients in the pre-form group, $7,156 on average being after a DNAR order was written. An average $29,830 of total charges were accrued in the ICU for patients in the post-form group, $12,550 on average being after a DNAR order was written. Recommendations for the UMC Bioethics Committee and future research suggestions are presented.

Title of project: Analysis of Delta System Air service activity. Aim of project: The goal is to get acquainted with the work of the air ambulance in practice and it's use in the context of medical rescue service. Methods of project: The object of the study is to air rescue operation centers, which covers just firm Delta System Air for the period 2009 - 2013. For this type of work will be used the method of data collection, their study and followed will be used the method of graphical analysis. Results: From the resulting information will be given an overview of important information arising from the activities of the air ambulance service. Keywords: rescue, aviation, first aid

Thesis advisor: Marc L. Snapper / Chapter 1: The design of a novel first aid smart fabric that is linked to a biologically active molecule through an event specific cleavable linker is described. Successful functionalization of a cellulose filter paper fabric mimic and the synthesis of a linker which is potentially selectively cleavable in the presence of blood have been achieved. Chapter 2: Synthetic studies towards the total synthesis of Torilin, a sesquiterpene guaiane natural product with interesting biological activities are described. The synthesis of the hydroazulene core of Torilin is accomplished through a cyclopropanation/ Lewis acid mediated fragmentation of a highly functionalized polycyclic system which is rapidly accessed through the intramolecular cycloaddition of cyclobutadiene. / Thesis (MS) — Boston College, 2013. / Submitted to: Boston College.

Emergency departments (ED) provide access to care for large numbers of patients who have nonemergent medical needs. More than half of the patients presenting to the ED at Salem Hospital in Salem, Oregon, were found to be seeking care for nonemergent medical needs. In an effort to provide an alternative location for receiving this medical care, the hospital opened an Urgent Care Center (UCC) a few blocks from the ED. The purpose of this study was to determine who uses the ED, why, and what effect the UCC had on providing an alternative to the ED. My anthropological methodology uses both quantitative and qualitative techniques. Included in the study is a random retrospective chart review of 462 patients who utilized the ED and 183 patients who utilized the UCC. The collected data were analyzed and compared with information found in the literature review. Interviews with hospital staff and patients using the two facilities are integrated into the analysis. My own experience as a nurse allows me a certain insider's perspective which was useful in interpreting data, while doing observation, and during the interview process. Findings from my research show that the Urgent Care Clinic does provide an alternative source of health care to the ED for many people. This is particularly true for those whose usual source of care is unavailable and for those who are unable to find a primary care provider to accept them. The emergency department provides nonemergent care for large numbers of patients, some of whom have psycho-social problems which differ as compared to the general population. Some of these patients have moderate psychiatric dysfunction and/or addiction problems or homelessness as well as underlying medical problems, all of which are barriers to obtaining care in a regular office setting. In some cases, the emergency department provides the best option of available care. / Graduation date: 1999
