Sylabus
During the course, students will cover these topics, both in theory and practice: the introduction to first aid (the “3 steps” as a universal system for solving emergency situations: safety, consciousness, breathing) emergency services call (number 112 and the adequate structure of the call) life-threatening conditions and vital signs assessment (the approach to an unconscious person, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, severe bleeding) choking automated external defibrillator (AED) spinal injuries seizures (spasm, convulsions) burns, scalds (and acid burns) injuries caused by electricity/electric current chest pains stroke wounds and limb injuries etc.
About the objectives of the course, which include the effort to develop the competencies of participants for distance learning, the individual topics mentioned above will be indicated to develop these skills and competencies in students by focusing on the specifics of distance communication. Cross-sectionally, we will focus on the differences between distance and full-time communication in terms of providing and teaching first aid. Emphasis will be placed on getting acquainted with the possibilities of online resources and technologies. In the course, for example, participants will get acquainted with the mobile application Záchranka (its options and individual modules) and try out the implementation of a simulated call with a dispatcher.
Classes in winter semester 2023/2024 will start by their respective schedules. In case of mandatory online/distance learning the lessons will take place in GoogleClassroom (https://classroom.google.com/u/0/c/MTc2Njg3MzkxNDU4), where there will be an updated schedule of meetings, topics and homework.If physical attendance at the first lesson of the semester won't be possible, that lesson will be done as an online meeting. Enrolled students will receive e-mail with an invitation.
Anotace
This course is intended for English-speaking students (e. g., ERASMUS+ exchange programme). For Czech-speaking students there are designated the subjects MB180C25 or MB180C25T (MB180C25E is not an equal English version of those previously listed). This course covers basic first aid techniques and competences with regard to the Czech Republic’s system of emergency services and recommendations adjusted for non-Czech speaking people (such as students, tourists, etc.). For example, Czech speaking people are taught to use traditional national line “155” as the primary emergency telephone number. However, for foreigners, the international number “112” is recommended. Providing appropriate first aid should be one of the basic skills of every citizen has. This obligation arises from laws of the Czech Republic (as well as in a most of the other countries). The European Resuscitation Council regularly publishes recommended procedures for resuscitation and first aid, called Guidelines (currently “2021”). This document defines the correct procedures, which should be followed when providing or teaching first aid.
The course aim is to develop the competencies of participants for distance learning, which can be a complement to full-time teaching and suggest ways to develop these skills and competencies in students. The possibilities of teaching and providing first aid in the form of distance learning will be discussed as well as focusing on the use of online resources and technologies. During the course, for example, participants will get acquainted with the mobile application Záchranka (its options and individual modules) and try out the implementation of a simulated call with a dispatcher.
