An algorithmic approach to the treatment of hydrofluoric acid burns.
1995
Hydrofluoric acid (HF) injuries have a potential for both systemic toxicity as well as severe tissue destruction. We present an algorithm for the management of HF burns. This algorithm addresses these issues emphasizing the differences between major and minor cutaneous burns, and includes the approach to inhalation, ingestion and eye injuries. Although algorithms can never be complete, we hope this algorithm will be used as an aid in the clinical management of these patients.
