Viewer discretion is advised. So with summer around the corner and protests to civil unrest kicking up, it’s time to learn some basic trauma medicine. Eye 👁️ injuries are very common especially in recent times for protests here in America to overseas Warzones or daily life. There was a few people we treated who took trauma to the eyes whether it’s Mace, pepper spray, shrapnel, blunt trauma , and the list goes on. There’s a big debate about covering one eye vs both eyes which I have done personally both for eye trauma . There was a recent interesting case where DHS shot a photographer in the face and the eye was completely out of his socket . If you were a bystander , nurse, ems , and etc , how would you treat it ? The gentleman actually is suing DHS for a good chunk of change for him losing an eyeball during the no kings protests. Fortunately, we have treated people sides and it’s good knowledge to have because, I wouldn’t be surprised if more situations like this happen in the near future. Not only stabilizing the patient is a challenge but, people tend to forget about the occipital lobes to other parts of the body that may had additional trauma especially to the head / face trauma. If you want to know about eye trauma , check out cotccc.com , , , and . They have YouTube channels on eye injuries as well. But again, keep your composure when treating injuries like this because if you’re the patient and you have your eye popping out of your body, you’re going to freak out / anyone would freak out.
