Seminar program of the Department of Internal Medicine, 2nd Faculty of Medicine, Charles University and Motol University Hospital

Public professional seminars of the Internal Clinic are not organized at the moment. He will inform you in advance about their renewal

You can find the current offer of vacancies on the FNM main page under the tab Career.

On these pages you will find the most important information, which we hope will answer all your questions and introduce you to the functioning of our clinic. You will find here, among others:

• detailed information about the hospital (what to take to the hospital, what the patient's reception looks like, where the patient is to come to the hospital, etc.) 
• detailed information about individual departments of our clinic and their focus
• information about the doctors who take care of the patients in the individual wards
• important telephone numbers to order examinations, outpatient visits

and many other useful information that will simplify and facilitate your orientation at our clinic.

In the following lines, we will try to answer the most frequently asked questions regarding hospitalization at our internal clinic. We will guide you through the individual steps of the entire reception process and the hospitalization itself so that everything goes as smoothly as possible and without unnecessary delays. Here we deal mainly with the procedure for the planned admission of the patient, even if the emergency hospitalization follows a similar scheme.

Internal ambulance

• the patient arrives in the morning of the day on reception clinic internal medicine clinics (node ​​D 4th floor)
• right outside the front door, the patient waits at the window filing cabinets and prepares personal documents (ID card, insurance card, or recommendation for hospitalization)
• nurse together with a patient establishes a patient card (fill in, among other things, the place of residence and contact to relatives to whom doctors may provide information about the patient's state of health)
• the nurse performs a basic physical examination (measures and weighs the patient, measures blood pressure and heart rate, record an ECG and perform blood samples according to the doctor's office)
• followed by detailed examination of the patient by a doctor taking the medical history and the difficulties that bring the patient to the hospital
• subsequently, the patient, accompanied by a paramedic, goes to the inpatient department

Inpatient department

• the patient is placed in a bed in the room upon arrival from the admission clinic 
• the nurse from the ward writes in the nursing documentation with the patient
• the patient is familiar with the ward regime and patients' rights
• the patient receives an identification bracelet with his name

• followed by an examination by a physician familiarizing the treatment plan and the examination algorithm

GASTROENTEROLOGY

Chief physician: prof. MUDr. Radan KEIL Ph.D.

Head of the 1st station: MUDr. Markéta ROZNĚTINSKÁ

Beds: 29

9 triple, 2 single rooms

The inpatient station of the Internal Clinic with a gastroenterological focus is used for hospitalization of patients with diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, liver, bile ducts or pancreas, whose condition is so severe that it does not allow outpatient treatment. Furthermore, patients are hospitalized for diagnostic reasons, in order to speed up and streamline the examination process. The inpatient department also provides facilities for the endoscopic center - patients after more demanding endoscopic procedures, who cannot be released immediately after the examination, are observed here for the purpose of early detection and treatment of possible complications of endoscopic procedures.

The inpatient department has 27 standard beds in triple rooms with private bathroom and television. There are also two single rooms, which provide above-standard accommodation for a fee.

DIABETOLOGY AND ENDOCRINOLOGY 

Head of the 2nd station: MUDr. Stepan Hlava

Beds: 30

9 triple, 1 double and 1 single room

The focus of the 2nd bed station IK is currently undergoing a transformation from a general internal direction to a station specializing mainly in metabolic, endocrine and diabetes mellitus diseases. Established close cooperation with the 7th bed station with a similarly profiled and established orientation.

Both stations are part of the FNM Diabetology Center and provide comprehensive care for patients with diabetes mellitus, from metabolic compensation to screening and treatment of complications, mainly diabetic foot syndrome and ischemic lower limb disease.

Comprehensive care is enabled by close cooperation with other departments of the internal clinic (metabolic unit, nephrology department) and the department of the University Hospital in Motol (Department of Imaging Methods, Department of Ophthalmology, Department of Nuclear Medicine, surgical specialties, Department of Sports Medicine).

Another task is the diagnosis and treatment of patients with endocrine diseases, especially thyroid disease. Both stations provide inpatient facilities for patients from the Institute of Endocrinology (diagnostics, treatment of acute conditions, preparation for surgical procedures).

Currently, the care of patients with morbid obesity is expanding in both volume and quality with the planned initiation of bariatric operations and subsequent care.
Both stations simultaneously provide care to patients with all acute internal conditions.

Sufficient personnel and equipment of both stations as well as the relevant specialist outpatient clinics enable the described profile and further expansion of care.

Undergraduate and postgraduate teaching (internal medicine, diabetology, endocrinology) is also a priority part of the workload of both stations, including several research projects and grants, and publishing activities.

Possibility of hospitalization in an above-standard room

At the 2nd bed station, we also offer a chargeable possibility of hospitalization in a room with above-standard equipment. 

CARDIOLOGY

NEPHROLOGY 

DIABETOLOGY, ENDOCRINOLOGY, OBESITOLOGY, ANGIOLOGY 

Head of the 7th station: MUDr. Jan Šťovíček, Ph.D.

Beds: 22

6 triple, 1 double, 1 single room, 1 VIP room

Diabetology

The 7th station was established within the Internal Clinic of the University Hospital in Motol in 2000, as an inpatient department of a diabetological center specializing in the treatment of diabetes and its complications, and subsequently the operation was expanded to care for patients with endocrine diseases requiring hospitalization for medical or diagnostic reasons.

Gradually, a fully equipped ward was built, caring mainly for patients with acute diabetes and patients with vascular and neuropathic complications. Cooperation with other departments of the internal clinic (metabolic unit, nephrology, dialysis) and interdisciplinary cooperation within the Motol University Hospital (clinics of radiology, nuclear medicine, eye clinic, cardiac surgery, surgery, etc.) enabling modern treatment of all conditions associated with diabetes treatment and its complications.

The same applies to the diagnosis and treatment of endocrine diseases, where we work closely with the Institute of Endocrinology in Prague.

The solution of grants, scientific and publishing activities, teaching of medics and postgraduate education of doctors is an integral part of the operation.

• CZK 2.500 per day, for less serious patients
• For the entire FNM - all clinics and departments

GASTROENTEROLOGY

Chief physician: prof. MUDr. Radan KEIL Ph.D.

Head of the 1st station: MUDr. Markéta ROZNĚTINSKÁ

Beds: 29

9 triple, 2 single rooms

The inpatient station of the Internal Clinic with a gastroenterological focus is used for hospitalization of patients with diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, liver, bile ducts or pancreas, whose condition is so severe that it does not allow outpatient treatment. Furthermore, patients are hospitalized for diagnostic reasons, in order to speed up and streamline the examination process. The inpatient department also provides facilities for the endoscopic center - patients after more demanding endoscopic procedures, who cannot be released immediately after the examination, are observed here for the purpose of early detection and treatment of possible complications of endoscopic procedures.

The inpatient department has 27 standard beds in triple rooms with private bathroom and television. There are also two single rooms, which provide above-standard accommodation for a fee.

Patients with chronic diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, liver, bile ducts and pancreas are monitored and treated for a long time in a specialized gastroenterological and hepatological outpatient clinic (so-called gastroenterological clinic). The examination can be ordered by phone at 224434049 or in person, always on weekdays from 8 am to 15 pm The ambulance is located in the adult part of the Motol University Hospital (blue building) on ​​the 4th floor at communication node C. The examination can be completed only on the recommendation of a general practitioner or another doctor. We order patients for a specific day and hour to a certain doctor, upon arrival it is necessary to take a ticket from the electronic waiting list located opposite the ambulance door.

Within the gastroenterological workplace, there is a center for biological treatment - a modern sophisticated method of treatment, which is tied to the workplace with high expertise, appropriate background and quality of care standard.

Biological treatment of two groups of diseases takes place at our workplace: Idiopathic intestinal inflammations (Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis) and chronic viral hepatitis (chronic hepatitis B and C).

The initiating biological treatment, its duration and the choice of a specific preparation is always decided by the attending physician individually for each patient according to the nature and severity of the disease.

For all types of examinations, the patient must submit a request (recommendation) from the attending physician. We do not perform examinations at the request of the patient.

Examination can only be ordered during normal business hours (weekdays between 7 am and 15 pm), either in person at the Endoscopic Center of the Internal Medicine Clinic of the Motol University Hospital (Blue Building, Node D, 4th floor) or by telephone at the telephone numbers. Specific conditions for the examination are listed in the "Specifics" column. Outpatient patients may, depending on the nature of the examination or procedure, be asked to pay a regulatory fee of CZK 30. When performing the procedure on an outpatient basis in the presence of an anesthesiologist (under general anesthesia or analgesia), a regulatory fee is also charged for the examination by the anesthesiologist.

Emergency procedures (gastroscopy, colonoscopy, ERCP) are available around the clock, you can order by phone at the phone numbers below.

Cheap:
the patient must attend the examination on an empty stomach, ie he must not eat, drink or smoke from the midnight examination before midnight.

Orthograde preparation:
The patient must undergo orthograde bowel preparation prior to the examination. This means that they must follow a complete diet for 3 days before the examination. The day before the examination, the patient eats only a light breakfast, only clear broth for lunch. In the afternoon approx. between 14pm and 18pm he drinks 4 liters of Fortrans laxative (available on prescription at pharmacies). It is ideal to drink a laxative at a rate of approx. 1 liter / hour, ie approximately 2 dl every 10 minutes. After that, the patient no longer receives a solid diet until the examination the next day, however, it is possible to drink clear fluids and take the usual morning dose of medication in the morning before the examination.

Hospitalization:
To perform this procedure, the patient must be hospitalized on the bed of the Internal Clinic of the Motol University Hospital (hospitalization can be arranged on tel.

Results:
To perform this examination, it is necessary to know the current laboratory results of the patient, usually the values ​​of blood counts and coagulation parameters.

Anesthesia:
This examination is performed only under general anesthesia or analgesia in the presence of an anesthesiologist. To perform this type, a statement on the patient's ability to undergo general anesthesia or analgesia must be available.

Doctor with doctor:
This examination must always be agreed between the patient's attending physician and the FNM Endoscopy Center physician. It is not possible for the nurse to order the patient or for the patient to order the examination himself.

Diabetes in general

• Diabetes mellitus (diabetes) is a disease that is characterized by a higher level of glucose in the blood, which we professionally call glycemia. The normal value of fasting blood glucose is less than 5,6 mmol/l, after a meal it rises by a maximum of 2 mmol/l.
• Higher blood sugar level (hyperglycemia) bothers, both in the short and long term. From a long-term point of view, the problem is that thanks to it, the so-called chronic diabetic complications.
• Diabetes occurs for various reasons. 
• A hormone produced by the pancreas is essential for glucose metabolism, i.e. insulin. Specifically, it consists of the so-called beta cells of the islets of Langerhans, which are areas of tissue that produce hormones for the blood, which are scattered in the pancreas, which otherwise produces digestive juices.
• The most common form of diabetes is the so-called type 2 diabetes mellitus. In this case, the body first begins to respond poorly to the produced insulin, so-called insulin resistance arises. The body tries to compensate by making the pancreas produce more insulin. But it eventually runs out and insulin production begins to decrease. This form of diabetes is typically associated with overweight/obesity, which generally worsens the body's sensitivity to insulin. 
• The second most common form of diabetes is type 1 diabetes mellitus. It usually (but not exclusively) occurs in younger individuals and is caused by the body's immune system mistakenly destroying insulin-producing beta cells. Before the discovery of insulin, this form of diabetes led to early death. Today it is well treatable, but requires lifelong administration of insulin, which must be given by injection.
• There are also other types of diabetes. The only temporary form of diabetes is gestational diabetes (gestational diabetes), which occurs in predisposed women thanks to pregnancy hormones, which also worsen the body's sensitivity to insulin. Although it disappears after childbirth, up to 50% of women will most often get type 2 diabetes during their next life. They must therefore be further monitored. 
• But the list of types of diabetes does not end there. There are forms of diabetes linked to the mutation of one gene (monogenic diabetes), then diabetes caused by drugs and others.

Chronic diabetic complications

• They primarily affect blood vessels.
• A professional term is used for the involvement of large vessels macrovascular complications. They are based on accelerated atherosclerosis (hardening) of blood vessels and are not specific only to diabetes. The consequence of accelerated atherosclerosis is earlier onset of myocardial infarction, stroke, ischemic disease of the lower limbs. These complications then increase the morbidity and mortality of our patients. 
• Involvement of small vessels (microvascular complications) are specific for patients with diabetes. As a result, there is a typical damage to the eyes (retina, the so-called diabetic retinopathy), nerves (diabetic neuropathy) and kidney (diabetic kidney disease, formerly called diabetic nephropathy). Diabetes is the most common cause of blindness in developed countries and the most common diagnosis for patients who have to undergo dialysis. 
• Due to hyperglycemia, proteins are damaged because glucose binds to them (their so-called glycation occurs) and this damages their function. But that's not all. Simply put, thanks to hyperglycemia, a so-called pro-inflammatory environment is created in the body, many different undesirable effects (for example, oxygen radicals) are formed, and all of this ultimately leads to the above-mentioned problems.

Another follow-up outpatient department of the Internal Clinic

• Endocrinology clinic
• Obesitology clinic

The pages of medical-preventive care are divided into 2 parts. The first part is the internal admission clinic, where treatment is provided to acutely ill patients requiring internal care, sent by a general practitioner, or by the central reception department. The main task is to determine the basic working diagnosis, provide the patient with first aid and decide whether hospitalization in an internal bed is necessary. Through the outpatient clinic, patients also come to planned hospitalizations, for example to perform specialized procedures.

The second part of the internal outpatient clinic consists of specialized outpatient clinics and clinics - nephrology, angiology, rheumatology, cardiology, lipid, diabetology, endocrinology, podiatrics, nutrition and gastroenterology. These counseling centers provide comprehensive care for patients with specific diseases and problems who are dispensed and treated here.

The inpatient department also includes a number of specialized examination methods such as echocardiography, abdominal ultrasonography, including duplex renal arteries and portal veins, thyroid sonography, duplex sonography of peripheral veins, arteries and carotid and vertebral channels, and Holter blood pressure monitoring.

The second part consists of an internal ambulance specialized ambulance and counseling nephrological , angiological, rheumatological, cardiological, lipid, diabetological, endocrinological, podiatric, nutritional and gastroenterological. These counseling centers provide comprehensive care for patients with specific diseases and problems who are dispensed and treated here.

It deals with the treatment and dispensary care of patients with acute and chronic vascular problems - ICHDK, chronic venous insufficiency, post-thrombotic syndromes, deep vein thrombosis, etc.

We offer clinical examination by an erudite angiologist, duplex sonography of peripheral arteries and veins, carotid and vertebral flow. An integral part is also the education of chronically vascular patients and their regular monitoring. We also perform acute statim examinations in patients with suspicion of acute arterial occlusion or deep vein thrombosis.

A special place in the angiology clinic is the care of the diabetic foot and the determination of the risks of atherosclerosis by sonographic measurement of IMT in the carotid arteries.

The cardiology clinic of the internal clinic provides outpatient treatment of all cardiac diseases, especially hypertension, ischemic heart disease, valve defects, atrial fibrillation and anticoagulant treatment. The counseling center includes echocardiographic examination and Holter blood pressure monitoring. The ambulance has established cooperation with other Motol University departments in the event of the need for invasive treatment.

The specialized lipid outpatient clinic of the Motol University Hospital provides care for patients with all types of disorders of blood fat metabolism (isolated hypercholesterolemia, isolated hypertriacylglycerolemia, mixed dyslipidemia).

The outpatient clinic is used mainly for patients with congenital disorders of severe lipid metabolism, which cannot be managed in general practitioners' surgeries or specialized outpatient clinics of other fields affected by dyslipidemia, but it is not their main task (internistic, diabetological, cardiological and other surgeries). It is also possible to consult patients with a less severe disorder, including secondary dyslipidemias, who are not treated in a lipid clinic after the examination, but are sent back to the attending physician with a report.

Patients are instructed on regimen measures (diet, physical activity, suitability of non-smoking in the prevention of cardiovascular diseases) and, if necessary, are prescribed hypolipidemic pharmacotherapy.

The frequency of blood collection for biochemical examination is individual according to the needs of each patient, usually twice a year.

Vascular inputs are important and actually necessary in most medical fields, from intensive care through standard wards in hospitals, LDN, palliative care, but also for outpatients for chemotherapy, home parenteral nutrition, recurrent serious conditions (epilepsy, allergies, asthma) , pain treatment and certainly many more. Vascular inputs enable a number of essential treatment measures for the given diseases, as well as diagnostic procedures.

 On the other hand, they can be associated with serious complications that have a negative effect on the patient's prognosis.

And thanks to advances in vascular access (new types of vascular access, new materials, use of new techniques, a number of studies in this area in the last two decades), it is now possible to apply the principle of "optimal venous access", which means choosing such a venous access that enable all the functions required of it while minimizing the risk of possible complications. Of course, during its introduction and treatment according to the recommended procedures, which were created on the basis of a number of clinical studies. And so the seemingly simple issue becomes a relatively complex problem that has a significant impact on the fate of our patients.

At the internal clinic of the University Hospital in Prague Motol, we have been dealing with the issue of vascular access for a long time. Since its establishment, physicians working at the Metabolic Unit have introduced not only central venous catheters, but also hemodialysis permkathy, Broviac catheters and intravenous ports. In 2012, a PICC team was established within the Metabolic Unit, within which selected nurses, after training in the necessary techniques, began to introduce midline catheters and peripherally introduced central venous catheters (PICC). The need for these vascular access in the hospital has grown so much that it has proved necessary to create a separate department that will deal with the issue.

 A separate department "Venous accesses" was opened in February 2016 thanks to the support of the hospital management within the internal clinic. In addition to all of the above inputs, mini-midline catheters and tunneled central venous catheters are being introduced. The number of established vascular inputs is growing every year, and this year for the first time we will reach 2000 established vascular inputs per year. We try to implement inputs as soon as possible after receiving a request from the department and more than 90% of them are implemented within 24 hours. 

In addition to the introduction of vascular inputs, the department's nurses also perform their dressings according to the recommended procedures of the SPPK (Society for Ports and Permanent Catheters), and complications associated with the introduction and use of inputs are addressed at the department.

At the same time, thanks to the activity of the head nurse who founded the PICC team, courses on vascular access treatment are organized according to currently recommended procedures throughout the hospital.

A certified MZ course for the introduction of PICC and midline catheters is also of fundamental importance, on the basis of which the nurse obtains the legal authorization to introduce these inputs. This course was possible thanks to the creation of a vascular team and is so far the only one in the Czech Republic.

Our goal is to ensure "Optimal venous access" for each patient at the University Hospital in Motol and at the same time to cooperate in this area with teams that are gradually being established throughout our country. We can state with satisfaction that we are considered one of the leading workplaces in the Czech Republic in the field of vascular access.
