(Bevore giving the injured person the alkalinized solution, the rescuer must try it in order to avoid that the injured person gets a cauterization. Inform the medical staff about the alkalinization.)

- Treatment of wounds and secondary injuries. (Only first aid.)

- Examination of the pulse and respiration, especially during the first 30 minutes.

- Calling a second rescuer.
