T. A1 - Mulira, A. SP - 149 EP - 152 VL - 6 IS - 2 N2 - The introduction of a hand-held drench hose into a district general hospital accident and emergency department, for the emergency irrigation of chemically injured eyes is reported. The hose is described, together with the technique of irrigation. The advantages that a high-flow, low pressure system affords over conventional irrigation methods are discussed.
