2️⃣ They create a detailed report explaining what the images show.
3️⃣ Your provider reviews the report and discusses the results with you.
4️⃣ Next steps may include treatment, follow-up tests, or reassurance if everything looks normal.

Most results are ready within 24-48 hours, depending on the type of imaging.
Frio Regional Hospital is here to make sure you understand your care every step of the way.

Don’t Ignore Chest Pain - Even If It Goes Away

Chest pain that comes and goes might seem harmless, but it could be your heart trying to warn you.

Even brief or mild chest discomfort can be a sign of:
⚠️ Heart attack
⚠️ Angina (reduced blood flow to the heart)
⚠️ Blood clots or lung issues

Other warning signs to watch for:
🔹 Shortness of breath
🔹 Nausea or lightheadedness
🔹 Pain in the jaw, neck, back, or arms
🔹 Cold sweat

If you experience chest pain - call 911 or go to the ER immediately. Don’t wait and don’t drive yourself.

At Frio Regional Hospital, we’re here 24/7 to care for your heart and protect your life.

Understanding Vital Signs: What They Tell Us About Your Health

Every time you visit Frio Regional Hospital, we check your vital signs - but what do they really mean?

Here’s a quick breakdown:
✅ Heart Rate - Normal is 60 to 100 bpm. It shows how hard your heart is working.
✅ Temperature - A normal range is 97 to 99°F. Higher could signal infection.
✅ Respiratory Rate - Normal is 12 to 20 breaths per minute. Changes may indicate lung or heart issues.
✅ Blood Pressure - Ideal is around 120/80 mmHg. Too high or low can stress your heart and organs.
✅ Oxygen Saturation (SpO2) - 95% or higher is normal. Lower levels may mean your body isn’t getting enough oxygen.

These numbers help us spot concerns early and track how you're doing over time.

Your body talks - and your vitals are one of the first ways it speaks.

Water isn’t just important when you’re thirsty - it plays a major role in how your body heals.

✅ Keeps tissues and joints lubricated
✅ Helps transport nutrients to wounds
✅ Flushes out toxins and infection
✅ Supports skin repair and cell growth
✅ Prevents fatigue during recovery

Whether you're healing from surgery, illness, or injury, staying hydrated helps your body do what it’s built to do - recover.

Aim for 6 - 8 glasses of water a day, and more if you’re active or in the heat. Healing takes time - and water helps every step of the way.

Hospital Lingo Explained: What Does “Triage” Mean?

If you’ve ever visited Frio Regional Hospital, the ER or a Ready Care Clinic, you’ve probably heard the word “triage.” But what does it actually mean?

Triage is the process of quickly assessing patients to determine how serious their condition is, and determining the order of who needs care first.

This ensures that those with life-threatening emergencies are treated before less urgent cases.

Understanding triage helps our patients, doctors, nurses, and staff stay informed of medical urgency to provide safe and timely care for everyone.

Quality Sleep = Stronger Immunity

Did you know your immune system does some of its best work while you sleep?
During deep sleep, your body releases proteins called cytokines that help fight infection and inflammation. Without enough rest, your body makes fewer of them, making it harder to stay healthy and recover quickly.

Here’s how to help your immune system stay strong:
✅ Aim For 7 - 9 Hours Of Sleep Each Night
✅ Keep A Consistent Sleep Schedule
✅ Limit Screen Time Before Bed
✅ Avoid Caffeine Late In The Day

Protect your health, starting with better sleep!
