Wear PPE to prevent exposure!
Decontamination
Remove contaminated clothing, wash exposed areas with soap and water
Submersion in water/wet dressings can prevent spontaneous ignition of phosphorus particles
Manually debride/remove remaining phosphorus particles- may need wood's lamp to find
Unclear role of charcoal/whole bowel irrigation in ingestion
Supportive/symptomatic management
Inhalation: manage airway (may have significant irritation/edema), give oxygen therapy, bronchodilators, treat pulmonary edema
Rehydrate if significant GI losses, correct electrolyte abnormalities
Consider EGD if concern for GI burns
