Where does your state rank in disaster preparedness? How about our nation as a whole? It's not as good as you'd think.In recent years, there have been many tragic events and national disasters in the U.S. From 9/11 to multiple shootings in our nation's schools, airports and even movie theaters, to the Boston Marathon bombing and countless other events, it seems these days that you never know when a disaster or mass casualty event will take place. Is our nation ready? The newest ACEP Emergency Medical Environment report card was recently released, and the U.S. overall grade in disaster preparedness was a C-. This grade would strongly indicate that our medical system as a whole is not as prepared as it should be. Certainly, there are isolated incidents where the system shines, but overall, it needs some work. In this segment, Dr. Paul Kivela joins Dr. Leigh to discuss the findings of the report card, as well as what you can do to help improve the overall grade. Check the grades and see where your state ranks at www.emreportcard.org. Additionally, see what you can do to help improve the Nation's grade here.

 Common Mistakes Parents Make with Car Seats | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: Unknown

Do you know how to install a car seat properly? Learn the best way to keep your little riders safe.Each year, more than 130,000 children younger than 13 are treated in U.S. emergency departments after motor vehicle collision-related injuries. Many of those injuries can be attributed to improper car-seat use. Even the best of parents can make mistakes when strapping a little one in. A new study showed that the race of the parents can be a significant predictor of whether a child is placed in the right safety seat for his or her age, even after adjusting for parental education, family income and information sources, says lead author Michelle L. Macy, MD, MS, an emergency medicine physician at the University of Michigan's C.S. Mott Children's Hospital. Macy says that, overall, research has shown that age-appropriate car seat use is sub-optimal in the United States. Join Dr. Macy to learn the proper way to install a car seat, when you should turn your baby around to the front-facing position and when your children are old enough to be out of car seats.

 Does Your Child Suffer from Eczema? | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: Unknown

Eczema can be both annoying and downright painful for your child. What are the best ways to deal with this condition?Eczema is a general term used to describe a number of different skin conditions. It usually appears as reddened skin that is dry and peeling. Spots may start oozing, occasionally resulting in small, fluid-filled bumps. When eczema becomes chronic, the skin tends to thicken, dry out, and become scaly with coarse lines. Your pediatrician can recommend measures to help clear up the rash and itching of eczema. Antihistamine medication may be prescribed to relieve the itching and help break the itch-scratch cycle (which leads to more itching, scratching, and possibly infection). The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) provides information on different ways to manage your child's eczema. Melanie Cole, MS, and Dr. David Hill discuss eczema and the ways in which you can help your child with this annoying and uncomfortable condition.

 Winter Safety Tips for Your Little Snowman | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: Unknown

Whether your winter temps are mild or bitterly cold, the AAP has some valuable tips on how to keep your children safe and warm.Whether winter brings severe storms, light dustings of snow or just cold temperatures, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) has some valuable tips on how to keep your children safe and warm. In the winter months, kids often forget to wear something to keep their heads and ears warm. This can be quite dangerous, because even in slightly cold temperatures, kids can quickly develop frostbite or hypothermia. Another problem can be dehydration. With the cool weather, kids often don't drink as much; so it's important to keep an eye on their liquid intake. Finally, dry skin during the winter months can be more than just a nuisance... if your kids aren't getting enough moisture, it can lead to painfully dry and itchy skin. Melanie Cole, MS, and Dr. David Hill discuss winter safety and the things to keep in mind as your little ones go sledding, skating, skiing and just off to school in these cold winter months.
