First Aid Information For:

Prestone Gas Treatment, AS720-01/20/2017

Eye Contact: Immediately flush eyes with large amounts of water for 15 minutes. Get medical attention if irritation persists.
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing. Immediately wash contacted area thoroughly with soap and water. If irritation persists, get medical attention.
Inhalation: Remove the victim to fresh air. If breathing has stopped administer artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, have medical personnel administer oxygen. Get immediate medical attention.
Ingestion: Seek immediate medical attention. Immediately call local poison control center or go to an emergency department. Never give anything by mouth to or induce vomiting in an unconscious or drowsy person. If vomiting occurs spontaneously, keep head below hips to prevent aspiration into the lungs.
Notes to Physician: If clinically indicated, stomach contents should be evacuated carefully in a manner which avoids aspiration. A serious potential effect is aspiration pneumonitis, which may lead to non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema. The patient should be observed for signs of lung injury if aspiration is suspected. The combination of visual disturbances, metabolic acidosis and an osmol gap is evidence of methanol poisoning. Ethanol is antidotal and its early administration may block the formation of toxic metabolites of methanol. The objective is to rapidly achieve and maintain a blood ethanol level of approximately 100 mg/dl by giving a loading dose of ethanol followed by a maintenance dose. Intravenous administration of ethanol is the preferred route. Ethanol blood levels should be checked frequently. Hemodialysis may be required. 4-Methylpyrazole, a potent inhibitor of alcohol dehydrogenase, has been used therapeutically to decrease the metabolic consequences of methanol poisoning. Consult with a medical toxicologist or your poison control center.
