Lékařská první pomoc v urgentních stavech – Málek Jiří (2019)

The book is based on the content and requirements of medical first aid courses, which are part of the mandatory pre-examination training. In practice, it will also be useful for doctors not working in fields that routinely handle emergency situations, as well as medical students and non-medical healthcare workers. Numerous studies have shown that the general public automatically considers every medical and non-medical healthcare worker to be fully competent in addressing serious medical conditions, regardless of their specialty, and this book was created for such cases. The publication is designed as an overview of life-threatening situations or those leading to serious health risks. In addition to performing resuscitation, the content includes serious conditions, primarily categorized not by definitive diagnoses, but by the main problems a doctor may face. Examples include airway obstruction, unconsciousness, seizures, trauma, shortness of breath, chest pain, acute coronary and vascular incidents, sudden abdominal events, acute conditions in gynecology and obstetrics, external causes of health damage (burns, hyperthermia, frostbite, hypothermia, drowning, ionizing radiation, etc.), and other acute conditions in allergology, infectious diseases, and more.
