Diabetes center

Welcome to the website of the Diabetology Center of the Internal Medicine Clinic in Motola.

Our workplace provides outpatient and inpatient care for patients with all types of diabetes mellitus.

Our goal is to provide you with the best possible care, including the necessary knowledge, so that diabetes has no chance of harming you.

Obesity Treatment Center is a specialized workplace that provides diagnostic, therapeutic and nursing care for patients with obesity (BMI above 30 kg/m²) and with associated metabolic comorbidities, incl pharmacotherapy of obesity and bariatric-metabolic surgery.

Patient care in the obesitology center is carried out at a high level and in compliance with all recommended standard diagnostic and therapeutic procedures.

The obesity treatment center forms an educational, scientific and research base for the issue of obesity treatment using the most modern methods of treatment, both pharmacological and endoscopic and surgical.

The Obesity Treatment Center is involved in undergraduate and postgraduate teaching.

The aim of the Center is to offer patients the most modern obesity treatment options across the entire spectrum, including modern pharmacotherapy and bariatric-metabolic surgery methods. At one workplace, we would like to offer an obese patient the care of an obesitologist, nutrition specialist, psychologist, cooperation with physiotherapists, with a follow-up to other specializations such as surgery, diabetology, endocrinology, gastroenterology, etc. orthopedics and others.

The specialist ambulance has the most modern type of the In Body 970 bioimpedance device, which can be used to accurately measure body composition, including visceral fat content, skeletal muscle volume, water content and many other parameters. In this way, the procedure that the patient should use to successfully reduce excess weight can be specified.

It is also available experienced nutritional therapist, who will help draw up the right diet and will regularly monitor and further educate patients. It is possible to cooperate as well with a psychologist, because often the problems associated with overweight and obesity are strongly influenced by psychology, the patient's current state of mind, or experiencing a difficult period of life.

We normally work in the ambulance with modern anti-obesity drugs - drugs that help reduce excess weight and have a minimum of side effects. It is a tablet and injection form of therapy. These drugs very effectively help reduce appetite and hunger, the patient is full after a small portion and has no tendency to continue eating, or to eat between meals or snack. He can thus focus better on a healthy diet, which is recommended by a nutritional therapist. Unlike older types, these modern drugs have minimal side effects, are very well tolerated and can be taken long-term or even for life. In addition, they will take place in the Center clinical trials with new drugs.

The obesity treatment center also offers surgical treatment of obesity using the most modern methods of bariatric - metabolic surgery. In cooperation with the |Surgical Clinic of the FN Motol, patients can undergo robotically assisted gastric tubulation (sleeve). The patient is at our workplace for these operations comprehensively prepared and monitored for life and regularly after the operation.

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 , angiologicalrheumatological, 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.

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.
