Use of an amphoteric lavage solution for emergency treatment of eye burns First animal type experimental clinical considerations
Author(s)
This animal experimental study showed the efficiency of a rinsing with Diphotérine® on an ocular burn due to 1N NaOH in a double blind way compared to a 0.9% sodium chloride solution. After 5 minutes of rinsing, the pH of the anterior chamber can be decreased to 10 +/- 0 for the saline solution and to 9.35 +/- 0.3 to Diphotérine®. No nocive effect of Diphotérine® was observed compared to a 0.9% saline solution.
