- Description
- The importance of proper first aid for gas victims cannot be overemphasized. The following are general rules which apply in all cases. A. Act promptly and quietly; be calm. B. Put a gas mask on the patient if gas is still present or, if he has a mask on, check to see that his is properly adjusted. If a mask is not available, wet a handkerchief or other cloth and have him breathe through it. C. Keep the patient at absolute rest; lousen clothing to facilitate breathing. D. Remove the patient to a gas-free place as soon as possible. E. Summon medical aid promptly; if possible, send the victim to a hospital. F. Do not permit the patient to smoke, as this causes coughing and, hence, exertion.
