HEAT-RELATED EMERGENCIES IN CHILDREN

Weather experts are expecting a “hotter-than-average” summer for 2020 for most of the country. So, it’s a good time to start brushing up on your heat safety knowledge and prepping to keep your family safe.

Children are more susceptible to temperature extremes and the effects heat can have on the body compared to adults. Because their bodies are less able to regulate their body temperature, it’s important to understand best practices to prevent heat-related emergencies and know how to respond in cases of heat stroke in children.

HEAT EMERGENCY PREVENTION
Help prevent heat-related emergencies in children by:

Keeping children hydrated.
Dressing children in clothing that is single-layered, light-colored and lightweight.
Having children rest in the shade whenever possible.
Avoiding physical activity or exercise when the weather is hot or humid.
Additionally, every parent and caregiver should be aware of the risk for heat-related illnesses or death when children (or pets) are left in vehicles.

According to the Children’s Safety Network, 37 children die from heat stroke in cars each year. Because it only takes 10 minutes for a car temperature to become deadly, this organization promotes the following safety tips:

Never leave a child alone in a vehicle even if it’s “just for a minute”. Don’t leave them even if the windows and doors are open or if the car is in a garage.
Check the back seat every time you leave the car. Children are often forgotten in vehicles when there is a schedule change or if the driver is distracted.
Call 911 if you see a child left alone in a vehicle.

We are open during these trying times. Sheriff Manuel Gonzales III, stated that, since we teach Healthcare Providers CPR and they need CPR to maintain their qualifications, we are considered essential and can remain open. However, we must follow the Governor's requirements and not have more than 7 individuals in our classes. Therefore, since we have to have an instructor, we must limit our classes to no more than 6 students. You can see our class schedule and register for our classes at CPR2UNM.COM. We look forward to seeing you.
