Hyperbaric therapy of patients poisoned with carbon monoxide in the Hospital Emergency Department at University Hospital No. 1 named after Dr Antoni Jurasz in Bydgoszcz - preliminary report Ewa Zieliński1, Ahmad El-Essa1, Kinga Grobelska1, Piotr Dzięgielewski2, Oksana Telak3, Walery Zukow4 1Department of Emergency Medicine and Catastrophe Medicine of Collegium Medicum in Bydgoszcz, University of Mikołaj Kopernik in Toruń, Poland 2SPZOZ 10 Military Clinical Hospital with Policlinics in Bydgoszcz, Poland 3The Main School of Fire Service, Poland 4Department of Spatial Management and Tourism, Faculty of Earth Sciences, Nicolaus Copernicus University in Torun, Torun, Poland Key words: hiperbarotherapy, carbon monoxide, poisoning Abstract The study is a preliminary report on the treatment of carbon monoxide poisoning at the Hospital Emergency Department at University Hospital No. 1 named after Dr. Antoni Jurasz in Bydgoszcz, with the use of oxybarotherapy in a monoplace chamber. Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning is a frequent cause of accidental and intentional injuries in the world. Many researchers suggest that the use of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) in CO poisoning, prevents the development of neurological sequelae. This led to the widespread use of HBO in the treatment of patients with carbon monoxide poisoning. The National Health Fund (NHF) reimburses patients treatment in a multi-person hyperbaric chamber. In the Hospital Emergency Department (HED) in Bydgoszcz there is a one-person hyperbaric chamber, which is mainly used to treat patients poisoned with CO. Treatment is also refunded by the NHF. The cost of treating the patient in the monoplace chamber is included in the contract - (lump sum) from NHF for HED.

Difference of pro-health behaviors among the inhabitants of Ghana Odmienność zachowań prozdrowotnych wśród mieszkańców Ghany Ewa Zieliński1, Katarzyna Sas2, Walery Zukow3 1Department of Emergency Medicine and Disaster Medicine, Collegium Medicum in Bydgoszcz, Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń, Bydgoszcz, Poland 2Chair and Department of Pedagogy and Didactics of Nursing, Collegium Medicum in Bydgoszcz, Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń, Bydgoszcz, Poland 3Department of Spatial Management and Tourism, Faculty of Earth Sciences, Nicolaus Copernicus University in Torun, Torun, Poland Key words: pro-health behaviors among, disease, Ghana Słowa kluczowe: zachowania prozdrowotne, choroby, Ghana Abstract The diversity of behaviors, including pro-health ones, in developing countries is a major health, social and economic problem. Especially it affects the developing countries of Africa. In every culture, health is perceived differently. Inhabitants of different continents use different patterns of behavior, values, norms and cultural habits. The approach to health in individual cultures and social groups is the result of separate views and aspirations and from belief systems. Health indicators in Ghana are systematically improving. For example, the estimated life expectancy for people borned in 2015 was 61 years for men and 64 years for women. These indicators have been systematically growing for several dozen years thanks to the reduction of mortality caused by the medical development, improvement of hygienic and sanitary conditions, increase in the living standard, improvement of nutritional status and common protective vaccinations used in order to reduce the epidemic. Optimistic is the fact that life expectancy in health is 54 years. This is one of the best results in the sub-Saharan Africa region [1]. Despite a significant improvement in the majority of health indicators, Ghana continues to face numerous prevention and health care problems. During the research projects carried out in Ghana, numerous observations have been made in this area. For example, the state of knowledge about pro-health behaviors among the residents of Ghana has been assessed. Even the preliminary observation before the preparation of the publication indicated the problem of inadequate pro-health behaviors preferred among the inhabitants of Ghana.
