Abstract: | The paramedic uses his / her potential, i.e. knowledge, experience, and abilities. They must also be able to handle medical equipment and medical devices, know how to use the forms of control and care. A person infected with a highly dangerous disease. A situation can happen. Even in Europe. How to solve patient transport, how to protect his health and how to protect others from infection - all this is dealt with by a special ambulance car, which was developed in Zlín, where the University of Zlín also cooperated. The ambulance is an integral part of the Integrated Rescue System in the event of an emergency with a high-risk infection. For example, it may be MERS, SARS or Ebola. Performance of activities concerning maintenance, care and, in particular, control of medical devices, the priority of the medical rescue service is the actual performance of the activity of the emergency medical service. Every paramedic should have an accurate idea of how to treat, care and care for a particular medical device and take care of him. The ambulance is used by health care professionals to transport patients with a risk of infection when transferred to their destination. Ambulances run emergency medical services, hospitals, the International Red Cross and many other health organizations. Special features are military or fire-fighting ambulances, special hygiene products indirectly accessible, ambulatory rooms from the driver's cab. The crew arrives at their destination where the test practitioner wears a full-body protective suit and other aids such as glasses or gloves. The transport must start according to hygienic requirements. After the transfer of a sick patient, the medical ambulance must go through disinfection. Rescuers accept the strictest hygiene regulations: they can use disposable protective equipment or two-stage respiratory protection. Crews consistently use the barrier approach, using gloves that are deployed in three layers. Protective suits, so-called overalls, loose disposable. Rescuers use respirators with an ABEK1 or higher filter and paper and carbon filtering. The rescue airways are thus protected in two stages, namely a mechanical filter that captures particles and a chemical filter. They had glasses to protect their eyes, and they also started using face shields. Upon arrival at the base, decontamination is in progress, mechanical cleaning, application of disinfectant solutions and course ozone disinfection of the room. The ambulance is disinfected after every transported patient. Rescuers are also undergoing thorough cleaning to dispose of disposable protective equipment such as bio-waste. At the exit base, ambulances that run with an infectious ambulance have their entrance and their premises, including sanitary facilities, to prevent contact with other employees. Nowadays, when people are traveling at a crossroads when from one continent, people are transferred to another continent by plane in a few hours and the infection is spreading, it is necessary to prepare and use special ambulances to transport patients with the infection. © 2020 ACM. |
