Call the National Poisoning Information Center (NVIC): After calling the emergency number, also call the National Poisoning Information Center (NVIC) at 030-274 88 88. NVIC experts can advise on further steps to take, depending on the type of poison and the severity of the situation.
Keep the Poison and Collect Information: If it is safe to do so, keep the poison and collect relevant information, such as the product’s packaging or labels. This information may be helpful to emergency responders in determining the best treatment.
Follow the Emergency Workers’ Instructions: Once emergency workers arrive, follow their instructions carefully and provide assistance as needed. Remain calm and composed, even in stressful situations, to help the victim and emergency responders.
It is important to remember that first aid for poisoning can save lives, so be prepared and know what to do in the event of an emergency. By acting quickly and appropriately, you can make a difference and help ensure the safety and well-being of the victim.
