We saw our first Tide Pod chemical eye burn on Saturday. Her ph was 8 when she walked in. She was in a lot of pain and had a large corneal abrasion.
The key thing when examining these patients is to get them irrigated as soon as possible and get the pH down to a 7.
Here is our Chemical Burn Protocol:
1. Front desk needs to tell these patients to come in asap: the pt this am says Tide Pod splashed in her eye last night. 911 needs to be called when a chemical hits the eye if one cannot get into the eyeMD's asap. Tell patient if calls to start irrigating with water asap at least for 20 minutes as waits for 911.
2. Check pH with pH Strip asap
3. Try to take photos if needed & quick look at slit lamp after 1 drop of Fluorescein before & after irrigation
4. Start irrigation otherwise ASAP until pH is 6.5- 7.5.
5. Check pH every 15-20min right before & then during BSS irrigation until pH is about a 7pm
6. Send home on
a) antibiotic: to prevent superinfection
b) steroid 2-4x/day: to decrease inflammation. May need to wait till corneal epithelium is healed before starting in some patients.
c) doxycycline 20mg po qd
d) autologous serum 4x/day if available
d) f/u 1-2days depending on severity

My life is beautiful thanks to you, Mein Helfer. Lord Jesus in my life as a candle light in the darkness. You showed me the meaning of faith with your words. I know that even when I cried all day thinking about how to recover, you were not sleeping, you were dear to me. I contacted the herbal center Dr Itua, who lived in West Africa. A friend of mine here in Hamburg is also from Africa. She told me about African herbs but I was nervous. I am very afraid when it comes to Africa because I heard many terrible things about them because of my Christianity. god for direction, take a bold step and get in touch with him in the email and then move to WhatsApp, he asked me if I can come for treatment or I want a delivery, I told him I wanted to know him I buy ticket in 2 ways to Africa To meet Dr. Itua, I went there and I was speechless from the people I saw there. Patent, sick people. Itua is a god sent to the world, I told my pastor about what I am doing, Pastor Bill Scheer. We have a real battle beautifully with Spirit and Flesh. Adoration that same night. He prayed for me and asked me to lead. I spent 2 weeks and 2 days in Africa at Dr Itua Herbal Home. After the treatment, he asked me to meet his nurse for the HIV test when I did it. It was negative, I asked my friend to take me to another nearby hospital when I arrived, it was negative. I was overwhite with the result, but happy inside of me. We went with Dr. Itua, I thank him but I explain that I do not have enough to show him my appreciation, that he understands my situation, but I promise that he will testify about his good work. Thank God for my dear friend, Emma, I know I could be reading this now, I want to thank you. And many thanks to Dr. Itua Herbal Center. He gave me his calendar that I put on my wall in my house.
