First aid measures after a chemical and thermal burn in the eye.
Author(s)
First of all, this publication introduces a precise classification of the different stages of an ocular chemical burn and its clinical prognosis. The authors insist on the importance of an early rinsing and on its quality in order to avoid important ocular injuries. The rinsing must be isotonic or hypertonic to tears and active on the aggressive chemical products. The experience of occupational doctors shows that the length of work losses for the employees is shorter after a rinsing with Diphotérine®, that has ideal chemical and physical properties, than after a rinsing with another emergency treatment.
