Show HEALTH NEWS Juni 29, 2011 SUMMIT COUNTY NEWS Summit County Health Dept. Safe Kids Summit County reminds caregivers of the dangers to children alone in cars 21 deaths this year and summer heat waves call for extra care with children At the mid-point of summer with hot temperatures throughout the country and more than 20 child deaths so far from hyperthermia, Safe Kids Summit County reminds caregivers to never leave children alone in vehicles. Since March of this year, 21 children have tragically died from being trapped in a sweltering car or truck. It can happen at temperatures as low as the mid-50s. But with heat waves across the country, these horrific incidents are happening far too often. "Do not let a 'cooler' day fool you" said Geri Essen Summit County Safe Kids coordinator, "the temperature outside is not the same as inside the family vehicle." A recent demonstration at Smith's Food and Drug Store in Park City shows how quickly temperatures rise. Thermometers were placed outside of a standard vehicle and in the passenger seat of the same vehicle to measure temperature conditions. The outside temperature was a comfortable 71 degrees. It then only took a short time for temperatures inside the vehicle to increase by 20 degrees.

Many child heat stroke deaths occur because parents and caregivers become distracted and exit their vehicle without their child. To help prevent these tragedies parents can: Place a cell phone, PDA, purse, briefcase, gym bag or something that is needed at your next stop on the floor in front of a child in a backseat. This will help you see your child when you open the rear door and reach for your belongings. Set the alarm on your cell phone / Smartphone as a reminder to you to drop your child off at day care. Set your computer calendar program to ask, "Did you drop off at child care today?" Establish a plan with your child care provider that if your child fails to arrive within an agreed upon time that you will be called within a few minutes. Be especially mindful of your child if you change your routine for child care. Dial 911 immediately if you see an unattended child in a car. EMS professionals are trained to determine if a child is in trouble.

These heartbreaking incidents can happen to anyone and public education is vital to combating these preventable occurrences," said Essen. "Actively look in cars and trucks in parking lots and call 911 immediately if you see a child unattended in a vehicle." "Good communication between parents and teachers can be a key to child safety and prevention of the devastating effects of hyperthermia," said Kristie Reeves, a mother who lost her child to hyperthermia this year. "One phone call with a child care center or school can save a child's life." Here is what parents and caregivers need to know and why. and Lock cars trucks.

Safe Kids coalitions across the U.S. are working diligently, hosting more than 150 "Never Leave Your Child Alone" events like this to alert communities of this danger. "The inside of a car acts like a greenhouse, a place no child should be alone. Because children's bodies heat up by as much as five times faster than adults, this makes them much more susceptible to heat stroke" cautioned Essen. Although most would assume this would never happen to them, there is no common description of the caregiver that has experienced this tragedy.
