How to use saline in first aid?
Rinse the wound with saline, pouring from the centre outwards to wash out dirt – do not rub it in deeper. Cool a burn first with clean, cool water for at least 10–20 minutes, and use the saline to moisten the dressing. Rinse the eye from the inner corner outwards, with the head tilted towards the eye being rinsed. Saline is for external use only – it must not be injected or given as an infusion. In case of a serious injury call 112 – action taken by a bystander can decide whether the casualty survives.
