Subsequent inpatient care

Mask or FFP2 respirator are mandatory.

Visits will only be allowed for healthy people without high temperature or symptoms of respiratory disease.

About postoperative care department

The PAC department accepts patients from the inpatient wards of catchment medical facilities. We care for patients whose acute illnesses had been treated and whose reversal stability of health condition requires constant monitoring and inpatient care cannot be expected, until certain time or in cases when this health care cannot be provided on an outpatient basis. Their state of health therefore requires longer-term medical  rehabilitation and nursing care. The majority of patients are elderly, but middle-aged and younger patients are also hospitalized (for example after injuries, cerebrovascular accidents, orthopedic operations). The department has 57 PAC beds.

In order to ensure comprehensive professional care for our clients, we cooperate with the framework of consular services with specialist outpatient clinics of our hospital, e.g. internal, surgical, orthopedic, rehabilitation, neurological and psychiatric. We make full use of our available laboratory and radiodiagnostic complement.

Taking care of patients, we strive to achieve a degree of compensation and self-sufficiency that allows a return to home environment with the eventual provision of outpatient social services, or if discharge home is not possible for objective reasons, a problem-free transfer to social beds. The social situation of our patients is dealt with individually by our social worker Mgr. Michaela Kajlíková in cooperation with the head nurse, the head of the department and patient’s family.

 As part of improving the care of our hospitalized patients, we have expanded the spectrum of treatment methods to include the possibility of electrotherapy, therapeutic ultrasound, magnetotherapy, inhalation and application of gas injections. Modern devices will help us speed up recovery.

 Electrotherapy and ultrasound

The electrotherapeutic device of the latest generation, Star Opera Infinity, uses various types of electric currents that improve flow of blood tissue, relieve tension in striated and smooth muscles, and at the same time, the currents have an analgesic and anti-inflammatory effect. Electrotherapy will help you with acute and chronic pain in the spine, joints and limbs by providing optimal blood flow to the problem area, where it has direct affect on the muscles and nerves.

Ultrasound therapy is a gentle treatment method in which electrical energy is transformed into thermal and mechanical energy (tissue micromassage). The application increases blood circulation and nutrition of the tissues, loosens muscle contractures, softens scars, and in diseases of the musculoskeletal system, ultrasound has an anti-inflammatory effect. We mainly treat large and small joints and areas of the spine with it.

 Gas injections

By injecting CO2 under the skin, we improve blood circulation and quickly relieve pain in the applied area. Gas injections are mainly used to improve the condition in diseases of the circulatory and nervous systems, in cases of joint and spine pain and diseases.

 Magnetotherapy

The Dimap Arduino device for magnetotherapy uses the affect of magnetic field. Thanks to the influence of this field, pain is reduced or completely eliminated, bone fractures and open wounds of the skin or subcutaneous tissue heal faster, it also induces the expansion of large blood vessels, has an anti-inflammatory effect, reduces swelling and has a healing effect.

Inhalation

Inhalation therapy helps with diseases of the respiratory system, bronchial asthma, allergies and the post-Covid condition. Inhaling the vapors of Lesní pramen or Vincentka improves the patency of the upper respiratory tract, suppresses asthma symptoms and leads to overall relief for the patient.
