Chemical burn injury due to hydrofluoric acid: a case of successful management without hexafluorine

Abstract

We report an employee working in glass manufacturing who
suffered a burn, induced by hydrofluoric acid (HF) as a result of
an explosion of an acid container. The patient was admitted to our
burn center with second and third degree burn injuries over 5% of
his body. The burn improved completely and dramatically without
application of hexafluorine because he presented to our burn center
expeditiously. The primary goal of all treatment modalities is to
prevent deep tissue injury, decomposing fluoride ion chemically.
In the treatment of such burns, the wound area should be washed
with plenty of water, preferably with bottled water. In addition,
the compounds of calcium and magnesium applied topically and
hexafluorine have a role in the treatment, where available. Training
programs, including first-aid teams, should be prepared for this in
order to reduce
