title: Towards evidence-based emergency medicine: Best BETs from the Manchester Royal Infirmary. BET 1: the best treatment for eye irritation caused by CS spray.
abstract: A short-cut review was performed to evaluate whether irrigation or active blown air was the most effective treatment for CS gas irritation of the eyes. No published studies have answered this question. The clinical bottom line is that either treatment could be used to relieve eye symptoms after CS gas exposure.
