FIRST AID

What to do in case of gas inhalation
• High concentrations can cause asphyxiation. Possible symptoms include
loss of mobility and loss of consciousness. The victim does not notice the
asphyxiation. Low concentrations can cause dizziness, headache, nausea
and coordination problems.
• Take the victim out into fresh air. Contact a doctor or the emergency ser-
vices. Apply artificial respiration in the event of respiratory arrest.
What to do in case of serious burns or scalding
• There is an acute risk of hypothermia and shock. Call the emergency
services immediately!
• Immediately extinguish burning clothes with water or suffocate the fla-
mes with a heavy blanket.
• In case of burns: Leave clothing on the body.
• In case of scalding: Immediately remove clothing.
• Cool the affected areas with cold water for at least 15 minutes until the
pain subsides.
• Cover the affected area with a sterile Metalline burn sheet. Place the Me-
talline-coated side on the injured skin and attach it loosely with a gauze
bandage or a triangular cloth.
• Do not use any "home remedies" such as ointments, powders, oils, disin-
fectants, etc.!
Measures to take after light burns or scalding
• In case of burns: Only remove clothing from the body if it doesn't stick.
• In case of scalding: Immediately remove clothing from the body.
