Study Notes

First Aid for Eye, Ear, Nose, and Dental Injuries

Hyphema, visible pool of blood in front of the iris, impaired vision, and eye pain, require immediate professional medical attention
For hyphema, keep physical activity to a minimum, close both eyes and cover the affected eye with an eye patch, apply an eye shield, and seek professional medical care immediately
Only disk batteries and live insects in the ear must be removed immediately, seek medical care for other ear injuries
Do not use tweezers for objects stuck in the ear unless visible near the ear canal opening, seek medical care for removal
For fluids coming from the ear, do not attempt to stop bleeding or CSF, place a sterile dressing over the ear, stabilize head and neck, and call 9-1-1
Stabilize head and neck for protection in cases of accompanying head or neck injuries with nose injuries
Most nosebleeds are self-limiting, broken nose may cause pain, swelling, bleeding, difficulty breathing, and black eyes; apply ice, do not try to straighten a crooked nose
If bleeding from the nose has not stopped, have the person gently blow their nose and pinch nostrils shut again, seek other methods if bleeding continues
After a nosebleed, avoid excessive physical activity, elevate head when lying down, keep nostrils moist, and avoid picking or rubbing the nose
For a foreign object in the nose, have the person gently blow their nose while compressing the opposite nostril, seek medical care if the object cannot be removed
If something is caught between the teeth, try to remove it with dental floss, seek dental care if unsuccessful
For a bitten lip or tongue, apply direct pressure, clean the area, and seek medical care if bleeding does not stop
