Basic information
History and characteristics of the workplace
The Department of Anaesthesiology and Resuscitation was established on February 15, 1973 as the clinical base of the ILF Department of the same name. Prof. was appointed its head. MUDr. Jiří Pokorný, CSc. The rapidly developing field was soon included in teaching at the Faculty of Pediatrics (FDL). Since 1979, the clinic has been regularly involved in teaching, and since September 1988, the clinic has become one of their clinical workplaces. At this time, the area of pediatric anesthesia and pediatric resuscitation care is developing. This period is inextricably linked with the personality of MUDr. Vladimir Kyncl.
In 1990, Prof. MUDr. Jiří Pokorný, CSc Doc.MUDr. Jan Pachl, CSc, who headed KAR until 1996. In that year, a "blue pavilion" was opened for adult patients, and due to increasing demands on anesthesiology care, the clinic is being expanded by a 12-bed resuscitation department for adults. This year, Prof. becomes the new head of the dynamically developing clinic. MUDr. Karel Cvachovec, CSc MBA, who runs the clinic until 2014. During these 18 years, the workplace has become the largest clinic in the country, its fame and reputation growing not only at home but also abroad. In close cooperation with other fields, its doctors provide care in many prestigious medical care projects for adult and pediatric patients. In the years 1990 - 2010, the head of the clinic was Doc. MUDr. Jan Spunda, CSc. The second adult resuscitation department was opened in 2002, and in 2010 OCHRIP became a part of KARIM, founded and headed by Doc. MUDr. Jarmila Drábková, CSc., Undoubtedly an icon of Czechoslovak intensive care medicine. In the course of 2011, the pediatric anesthesia and resuscitation care facilities will move to the newly reconstructed premises of the children's monoblock.
In 2014, MUDr. Tomáš Vymazal, Ph.D. At this time, more than 2 doctors are already working at the clinic. Every day, the clinic's doctors administer anesthesia in almost 110 operating theaters and care for the critically ill in 60 beds for adults and 22 beds for pediatric patients. They give almost 14 anesthesia a year and almost 40 critically ill patients go through their hands. With their expertise, KARIM 1800.LF UK doctors cover a wide range of services in all age categories and in the entire range of care in the field. They have the latest medical technology and medical technologies. The clinic provides undergraduate teaching for medics at the 2nd Medical Faculty of Charles University and undergraduate teaching in the field of A + R + IM. It organizes a number of specialized extension courses. It is an accredited workplace.

Specialization
KARIM 2.LF UK in FN in Motol provides anesthesiology and medical care in the whole spectrum of procedures and diagnoses in adult and pediatric intensive care, including the most serious conditions. Our doctors specialize in providing highly qualified care to patients of all weight and age categories. In terms of the volume of care provided, we are the largest clinic of Anesthesiology and Intensive Care in the country. We work in more than 50 wards every day, our doctors give almost 40 anesthesia a year, and a total of more than 1600 patients are hospitalized on our beds every year.
The uniqueness in the field is that we provide anesthesiology care for children and adults at the Cardiocentre and that our doctors operate in the postoperative department of the Cardiocentre for adults. Intensive cooperation on a nationwide lung transplant program for adult patients is also unique.
The equipment of our workplaces is at the highest level, including ECMO technology.
We are an accredited workplace. In close cooperation with the 2nd Faculty of Medicine, Charles University, we organize and organize specialized courses in undergraduate and postgraduate teaching, including doctoral studies and in selected areas of specialized care for children and adult patients.
Equipment of the device
The AIM Clinic of the 2nd Medical Faculty of Charles University in the University Hospital in Motol is equipped to provide specialized anesthesiology care for children and adult patients. The latest technologies such as BIS, NIRS, sonography, perioperative ECHO, IABK and ECMO are a matter of course. Children's operating rooms are equipped with regard to the specifics of the lowest age and weight categories of patients. Monitoring technology in operating theaters enables the necessary continuous monitoring of the operated and sick, as well as the necessary measurements of physiological parameters. Dosing and heating of drugs and fluids is also provided by the device. We have modern ventilation devices and monitoring technology at our disposal in intensive care beds, which meets current European standards. We use modern CRRT technology, circulatory support and support of failing organs, including POCT monitoring of TEG and RoTEM hemocoagulation. We were the first in the country to introduce electronic (paperless) medical documentation.

ECLS (Extra Corporeal Life Support) center
ECMO consultation line FN Motol: +420 720 932 317
e-mail: eclscentrum@fnmotol.cz
- Line is not intended for the public
- The line serves only for experts, who want to refer a patient to an ECMO center, or want to consult on possible other treatment options
The ECLS center was established in 2023 as part of the Department of Anaesthesiology, Resuscitation and Intensive Medicine of the 2nd Faculty of Medicine of the UK and the Motol General Hospital in cooperation with the Department of Cardiology of the 2nd Faculty of Medicine of the UK and the Motol General Hospital, the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery of the 2nd Faculty of Medicine of the UK and the Motol General Hospital, III. the surgical clinic of the 1st Faculty of Medicine of the UK and the Motol General Hospital, the Children's Cardiac Center of the 2nd Faculty of Medicine of the UK and the Motol General Hospital and the Adult Emergency Department of the Motol General Hospital. It is based on many years of experience with ECMO support in respiratory failure, cardiopulmonary resuscitation or the National Lung Transplantation Program for the Czech Republic and Slovakia. At Motol General Hospital, ECMO is used on average in about 100 adult patients per year. Increasingly, this method is also applied to children.
What is ECLS?
ECLS (Extracorporeal Life Support) is the use of temporary (days to months) mechanical support of the basic vital functions of the heart or lungs. For support, we usually use an ECMO (Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation) device, as well as devices for removing carbon dioxide from the blood (for example, ECCO2R – Extracorporeal CO2 Removal) and others.
What is ECMO?
ECMO is a form of extracorporeal support of basic life functions such as heart activity or breathing. ECMO maintains blood circulation in the human body and the balance between blood gases (oxygen and carbon dioxide). ECMO itself does not cure, but temporarily performs the work of the heart and/or lungs. It allows them to "rest". It is a machine located outside the human body, which, through a system of tubes, ensures blood circulation, supplies the body with oxygen and removes carbon dioxide.
What is ECPR?
ECPR (Extracorporeal Cardiopulmonary Resusciation) can be described as the connection of a patient to ECMO as part of ongoing cardiopulmonary resuscitation, when it is not possible to restore the function of the heart with drugs or indirect heart massage. As a rule, this method is used in cases where the initial rhythm is ventricular fibrillation or ventricular tachycardia. Connection to ECMO in case of intoxication or severe hypothermia is not an exception.
Who benefits from ECMO?
Patients can be connected to ECMO acutely after careful consideration of all risks. These can be patients with lung failure due to infection (e.g. COVID 19, Pneumococcal...), as well as patients with impaired heart function (e.g. as part of cardiopulmonary resuscitation). A specific feature of FN Motol is the use of ECMO support within the National Lung Transplantation Program for the Czech Republic and Slovakia, where this method is a completely routine matter.
How does ECMO work?
ECMO is a device placed outside the human body. It is necessary to bring the patient's blood into this device and return it back to the body, which is ensured by introducing special cannulas into the large vessels in the body. The best access to these vessels is in the neck and groin area.
- veno-venous ECMO (VV ECMO): is a variant that replaces lung function. It supplies oxygen to the blood through a special membrane and removes carbon dioxide. It does not replace the function of the heart.
- veno-arterial ECMO (VA ECMO): is a variant that replaces the function of the heart or the heart together with the lungs together.
Patients on ECMO support can be in artificial sleep or even completely conscious. It depends a lot on the reason for which ECMO was introduced and how a particular person is able to tolerate the condition.
Where are ECMO patients cared for?
Patients on ECMO are primarily cared for by the staff of the Department of Anesthesiology, Resuscitation and Intensive Medicine 2nd LF UK and FN Motol in cooperation with the Department of Cardiology 2nd LF UK and FN Motol, the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery 2nd LF UK and FN Motol, III. the surgical clinic of the 1st Faculty of Medicine of the UK and the Motol General Hospital, the Children's Cardiac Center of the 2nd Faculty of Medicine of the UK and the Motol General Hospital and the Adult Emergency Department of the Motol General Hospital. The ECMO issue has a long history at FN Motol, but it has only been operating as an official institution registered in the ELSO organization since 2023. An integral part of this program is perioperative ECMO support, which is ongoing as part of the National Lung Transplantation Program for the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
How long can a patient be connected to ECMO?
It very much depends on the severity and type of heart and lung involvement. ECMO support can last from hours to weeks or months.
Are there any risks of ECMO support?
ECMO has a number of risks. Before connecting, doctors always consider what benefit ECMO will bring and whether the risk is greater than the expected benefit. The most common complications of ECMO support include bleeding or, on the contrary, the formation of clots, strokes, lack of blood in the extremities, and kidney failure.
When is ECMO no longer needed?
If lung and heart functions improve to such an extent that ECMO support is already minimal, the patient is disconnected from ECMO support. However, for example, artificial pulmonary ventilation or heart support with drugs can continue.
Is ECMO support always successful?
It is important to realize that ECMO only buys time for further decisions and treatment. Patients connected to ECMO support are always in critical condition and the risk of death is extremely high. It happens that the body's reserves are already so exhausted before being connected to ECMO that even all the support and treatment deployed will not bring the patient to recovery. It is necessary to accept the fact that patients die in such a critical state.
Who is part of the ECMO team?
Care of a patient on ECMO is multidisciplinary. A number of doctors, perfusiologists and nurses from across the hospital are involved in it. But everyone works as a team.

MD Jaromir Vajter

Motol University Hospital has been cooperating with the company since 2020 NaturaMed, having its roots in Norway. The co-operation was started by the Covid-19 pandemic. At a critical time, when medical personnel, including doctors on the front line, were most vulnerable, just us NaturaMed donated several hundred kilograms of vitamin D, C and omega 3 in the product Omega Marine Premium. A similar situation repeats itself every year, when we have already received a total of over two tons of food supplements supporting the immune system of all frontline workers.
