What's going around? An emergency room report.

Each week we ask our ER team what they are seeing a lot of in the Emergency Room.

This week Dr. Glenn DeLong, an emergency physician at McLaren Macomb, reports:

*Upper Respiratory Infections - During the past week, emergency physicians have seen an increase in children and adults with upper respiratory infections with symptoms of sore throat, cough and sneezing. Dr. DeLong recommends  common-sense measures to help prevent the spread of germs, including frequent hand washing with soap and water, and avoiding touching eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands.  

*Gastroenteritis - Emergency physicians have seen an increase in children and adults with gastroenteritis with symptoms of vomiting and diarrhea.

*Sports-related injuries - In the past week, emergency physicians have also treated more sports-related injuries in high school football players. Most were head and orthopedic injuries. 

*Asthma and allergies - With the change of seasons, ER physicians have had an increase in patients coming in for allergies and asthma complications.

McLaren Macomb employees attend emergency preparedness training

Emergency Preparedness Training

As part of McLaren Macomb’s commitment to emergency preparedness, five hospital employees recently completed a week-long training offered by the Center for Domestic Preparedness (CDP) in Anniston, Alabama.

McLaren Macomb employees Charles Peck, security supervisor, and Jennifer Dixon, RN, injury prevention coordinator, completed health care leadership training. Michael Marsiglio, RN; Michael Wadman, EMT-P I/C, emergency services liaison; and Hristijan Kontrin, security officer, completed hospital emergency response training.

“I am very fortunate to have been a part of this state-of-the-art training,” said Dixon. “The knowledge and experience I have obtained cannot be duplicated anywhere else."

Health care personnel from more than 25 Michigan hospitals, long-term care facilities, EMS agencies and fire departments attended the training.
