Do you have any first-aid knowledge regarding chlorine gas poisoning? Help!

Chlorine irritates the upper respiratory tract, causing severe coughing, vomiting, and other symptoms. Cough syrups are used to relieve coughs, while liquor is nothing more than a means of deceiving oneself； Compound camphor tincture is also used to relieve coughs.

If it’s a real poisoning, none of these will help; they only relieve coughs. Move to an area with a better breeze and seek medical attention as soon as possible

　Basic treatment: (1) General measures: Immediately remove the patient from the affected area and take them to a place with fresh air. If the eyes or skin are contaminated, rinse them thoroughly with clean water or saline. Apply 0.5% cortisone eye drops as well as antibiotic eye drops; for skin burns caused by acid, apply a wet compress using a 2%–3% sodium bicarbonate solution. Patients who have been exposed to a certain amount of chlorine gas should remain in the hospital for observation. Monitoring should include tracking changes in respiration, pulse, and blood pressure, and efforts should be made to conduct blood gas analysis and periodic chest X-rays at an early stage. 　　⑵Correct hypoxia: Administer oxygen inhalation and maintain airway patency. 　　⑶Prevention and treatment of pulmonary edema: ① Nebulized administration of neutralizing agents, such as local inhalation of 5% sodium bicarbonate. 　　②Use glucocorticoids reasonably. During outpatient preventive treatment, dexamethasone can be administered by intramuscular injection or prednisone orally, for 1 to 2 days. Inpatients can be given dexamethasone in doses of 20–60 mg, via intravenous injection or infusion, depending on their condition.

What are the main first-aid measures for chlorine gas poisoning? Chlorine poisoning—first aid measures: Chlorine poisoning develops rapidly and severely; therefore, timely and comprehensive first aid is key to saving the patient from danger. 1. Evacuate the scene. Remove the patient from the chlorine-contaminated area as soon as possible. 2. Provide oxygen immediately. Flow rate: 4–7 L/min; oxygen should be humidified with 20%–30% alcohol if necessary ； When the eyes are irritated, rinse them with 2% soda water; for pharyngitis, inhale steam from 2% soda water ； Remove the clothing and rinse the skin with plenty of clean water until the patient’s eye pain and skin burning sensation subside. 3. Respiratory tract management. Keep the airways clear and remove secretions from the airways promptly. To those with bronchospasm, 20 ml of 10% glucose injection plus 0.25 g of aminophylline was administered via slow intravenous injection.

Drink a can of Coca-Cola first! :In fact, when encountering a chlorine leak, as long as protective equipment is worn and the situation is handled properly or by retreating to an upwind area, there are usually no major problems. I’m worried about chlorine poisoning resulting from careless handling due to a lack of safety awareness.

This answer is correct! Previously, white sugar and raw eggs were also distributed on site

Real baijiu is the best. Phlegm is expelled quickly; results are seen by the second day. Coughing will persist for another two or three days even after using other medications

I think the mechanism behind baijiu is a substitution reaction; consuming an excessive amount of chlorine can provide temporary relief, while too little of it seems to have the opposite effect. It is recommended to add lard to sugar water

It’s better to have baijiu on hand; just like traditional Chinese medicine remedies – the reasons behind their effectiveness aren’t clear, but they do work
