For inhalation poisoning:
Call for emergency help. Never attempt to rescue a person without notifying others first.
If it is safe to do so, rescue the person from the danger of the gas, fumes, or smoke. Open windows and doors to remove the fumes.
Take several deep breaths of fresh air, and then hold your breath as you go in. Hold a wet cloth over your nose and mouth.
Do not light a match or use a lighter because some gases can catch fire.
After rescuing the person from danger, check and monitor the persons airway, breathing, and pulse. If necessary, begin rescue breathing and CPR.
If necessary, perform first aid for eye injuries or convulsion first aid.
If the person vomits, clear the persons airway. Wrap a cloth around your fingers before cleaning out the mouth and throat.
Even if the person seems perfectly fine, get medical help.
DO NOT
