With the forecast calling for more scorching heat beginning Monday, officials at Aurora’s hospitals are advising residents to take caution and stay hydrated.
At Ascension Mercy, Tom Caraballo, medical director for the emergency department, said they were seeing four to five people a day in the ER with heat-related issues during the hot spell.
When someone arrives at the hospital, medical staff tries to cool them down as soon as possible by giving them fluids, getting them in wet clothes and wet towels and using ice packs, Caraballo said. “If you start having really bad weakness, lightheadedness and nausea or vomiting, you should go to the hospital,” Caraballo said. “If you are at all concerned, you can err on the side of caution and come. The biggest thing is not to wait too long because the sooner we catch it, the easier it is to treat.”
