First Aid Measures

Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents

Inhalation

Move victims into fresh air. Do not leave victims unattended. Monitor breathing, give oxygen if necessary. Consult doctor immediately. Place unconscious persons in stablized lateral position. Perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation on victims who are unconscious, not breathing and with cardiac arrest (no pulse).

Symptoms: Breathing difficulties.

Skin contact

Wash off immediately with plenty of water. Flush affected areas of skin under running water for at least 10 minutes. In case of complaints: Consult doctor immediately.

Eye contact

Keeping eyelid open, immediately rinse thoroughly for at least 20 minutes using plenty of water or, if necessary, eye rinsing solution. Immediate further treatment in eye clinic/by eye doctor. Continue rinsing eye until arrival at ophthalmic hospital.

Ingestion

Seek medical advice immediately. Do not leave victims unattended. Do not induce vomiting. Place person on side in stable position if unconscious until medical assistance arrives or the patient can be transported to a medical facility for treatment and evaluation.

Symptoms: Gastrointestinal discomfort. Dysopia, loss of eyesight (upon increasing intoxication).

Immediate Medical Attention

Consult doctor immediately (for inhalation and skin contact). Immediate further treatment in eye clinic/by eye doctor (for eye contact). Seek medical advice immediately (for ingestion). Early endoscopy in order to assess mucosa lesions in the oesophagus and stomach which may appear. If necessary, aspirate leftover substance.

Medical Treatment

Antidote treatment: ethanol. Early endoscopy in order to assess mucosa lesions in the oesophagus and stomach which may appear. If necessary, aspirate leftover substance.
