Nosebleed - First Aid. - - Have the victim sit and tilt head slightly forward with mouth
open. Carefully remove any object you see protruding from the nose, but do not probe
inside the nose.
- Have the victim pinch the nostrils together, just below the bridge of the nose, for 10
minutes. Ask victim to breathe through the mouth and not speak, swallow, cough or
sniff.
- if victim is gasping or choking on blood in the throat, call 911

pressure. Have the person rest for a few hours and void rubbing or blowing the nose.
EYE First Aid - Dirt in the eye - Do not let victim rub the eye / see if can blink which will
wash it out with the victims tears.
- If not - gently pull the upper eyelid out and down over the lower eyelid. This allows the
lower lashes to catch a particle caught under the upper eyelid.
- If the particle remains, gently flush the eye with water from a medicine dropper or
water glass. Have the victim tilt the head so that the affected eye is lower than the other;
this prevents water from flowing into the unaffected eye. Flush from the corner nearer
the nose. Ask the victim to hold the eyelids open with their fingers, if needed, and to
look in all directions and blink during the flushing.
- if the particle remains and is visible, carefully try to brush it out gently with a wet,
sterile dressing. Lift the upper eyelid and swab its underside if you see the particle.
- If the particle remains or the victim has any vision problems or pain, cover the eye with
a sterile dressing and seek medical attention. Also cover the uninjured eye to prevent
movement of the injured one.
