Two serious eye injuries after tampering with fireworks
Citation
Læknablaðið 2010, 96(12):763-5
Abstract
In this article we describe two separate cases of serious eye injuries that were the result of two teenagers´ attempts to make home-made explosives out of fireworks. They had tampered with the same brand of firework, Víti, that appears to be popular for this purpose and instructions are available on the internet. One boy got an intraocular glass splinter and underwent vitrectomy for removal. The other boy suffered burns on his corneas that were treated with amniotic membranes. In both cases the outcome was better than expected at first. The objective of this article is to draw attention to the danger of tampering with fireworks and the necessity of preventive measures to minimize the risk of serious eye injuries. Vilbergsson GR, Einarsdottir SO, Oskarsdottir SE, Olafsdottir E, Stefansson E. Two serious eye injuries after tampering with fireworks.
Tveir unglingspiltar fengu meðferð á augndeild Landspítalans vegna alvarlegra augnáverka eftir fikt með heimatilbúnar sprengjur úr flugeldunum „Víti“ sem sprungu í höndunum á þeim. Annar pilturinn fékk glerflís inn í auga og þurfti glerhlaupsaðgerð til að fjarlægja flísina. Einnig fékk hann talsverða áverka á húð í andliti og á hendi. Hinn pilturinn brenndist illa á hornhimnu og í andliti. Hornhimnurnar voru meðhöndlaðar meðal annars með líknarbelgshimnu. Í báðum tilfellum fór betur en á horfðist. Tilgangur greinarinnar er að vekja athygli á hversu hættulegt fikt með flugelda getur verið. „Víti“ hefur verið vinsæll flugeldur til að fikta við og er auðvelt að finna leiðbeiningar á spjallrásum á veraldarvefnum. Æskilegt er að herða eftirlit með sölu flugelda og efla forvarnaraðgerðir, sérstaklega gagnvart börnum og unglingum.
