First Aid Safety Part II

Eye Injuries

Keep victim from rubbing eye. Rinse with water or commercial eye wash. (Hold eyelid open and pour from nose to outside.) If you see a particle that doesn’t come out with the wash, dab with gauze or cloth. If there is a penetrating eye injury, have the victim close both eyes. DO NOT attempt to remove the object. Cover both eyes. Cover the good eye with gauze or cardboard which has a small hole cut in the center. This will cause the good eye to focus on that spot, thus decreasing movement in both eyes.

Tooth Injuries

Check for a broken tooth, injury to gums or a knocked out tooth. Apply gauze or cloth to control bleeding if needed. Find any knocked out tooth and put in container of milk or water. If tooth is knocked out, send it with victim to dentist as soon as possible. Re-implantation is often successful if done within one hour.

Above all else, seek medical advise for any significant injuries. The information contained in this flyer comes from numerous first aid sources, and is only intended to assist in first aid for injuries.
