Rl'RNS. llow often children are foolishly rushed to the hospital after J burn -- before first aid is given. The burning must be stopped immediately, especially for hot liquid and alkali burns. Therefore, the first thing to do with a burn is to TAKE OFF ALL CLOTHES that might be In contact with a burn. When a toddler tips a pot of boiling water over onto himself, his arms and face may look bud, but usually the worst burns are on the chest and diaper area where the hot water stays against the skin for many seconds. Therefore, it is important to get the hot material away from the skin as quickly as possible The second tiling to do with a burn i GET THE WHOLE Hl'ltNEI) AREA COOL. Fill up the bathtub or sink with cchiI water and hold the burned area in it If the burn is small, wrap a washcloth around an ice cube and hold it on the burn This helps in two ways. First, it numbs the burned urea and decreases pain Second, it helps to prevent swelling and thus prevents more damage to the burned tissue. There are a few special cases of bums that you should know about, including burns to the eyes, inhalation and elec tical burns The eye is often involved in chemical burns, either acid or alkali. In both cases, it must be rinsed out thoroughly with cool water. It is easiest to do this by having the person lean over the sink and run water on his open eye's). Often due to pain and fear iie will he unable to open the eye himself, you should lie prepared to help pull up on Pendleton grower elected OWGL president; Louis Carlson, lone, 1st vice Stan Timmei tnann, Pendle ton wheal grower, was instal led as president of the 1981 year of the Oregon Wheat Groweres league.

Acid burns are over in seconds. Alkali (lye, bleach, drain cleaners, etc.) however, keep on burning for up to fifteen minuted. Therefore, If there is any fear that alkali la present, the eye should be flushed with water for fifteen minutes continuously by the clock. This must be done Immediately. The same Is true for alkali burns anywhere on the skin. Any eye burn should be checked by a physician after giving first aid. t Inhalation burns also can be very serious. Smoke inhala tion from fires causes far more deaths than actual burns, mainly due to carbon monoxide poisoning. Gas and aerosol can explosions caus ing inhalation of vapors can at first appear relatively mild. The victim might notice burning pain in the throat and chest along with a dry cough. This may improve or even go away completely for several hours, hut then rapidly worsen, causing severe diffi culty in breathing as swelling occurs. If there is any question of inhalation, the victim should be checked by a physician and watched very closely. Electrical burns can look small on the outside, but cause very deep tissue injury inside. II is especially important that all electrical outlets are plug ged to prevent toddlers from sticking pins in them. Also, toddlers should always be watched when around electric cords to make sure they don't bite into them. This can cause serious and deforming burns around the mouth. A few notes about burn treatment in general. Burns can easily get infected if they blister up The blisters should be kept clean and if they are not oozing fluid, may be allowed to remain intact for several days unless there is any sign of infection. Don't stick pins In blisters to try to let the fluid out - it will only let germs in Signs of infection include redness, swelling, pus. and increased pain. Infection usually takes a day or two to start after the burn first happens, A tetanus toxoid booster is often needed after a burn if immunization is not up to date. This can help prevent tetanus (lockjaw), though it has no lienefit in preventing other types of infection. Burns over joints can scar down causing limitation of motion If the joint is not properly exercised during the healing time, Many burn cases should be seen by a physician.
