Hydrofluoric acid (HF) causes severe burns and toxic effects. This review details the evolution of HF injury treatments based on clinical and experimental evidence.

Area of Science:

  • Toxicology
  • Dermatology
  • Emergency Medicine

Background:

  • Hydrofluoric acid (HF) presents significant industrial and domestic risks.
  • HF exposure can lead to severe cutaneous burns and potentially lethal systemic toxicity.
  • Existing literature on HF injury treatment is extensive but lacks a unified management approach.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive overview of the historical development of hydrofluoric acid burn therapies.
  • To synthesize findings from clinical reports and experimental studies on HF treatment.
  • To clarify the evolution of management strategies for hydrofluoric acid injuries.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of clinical case reports concerning HF injuries.
  • Analysis of experimental studies investigating HF treatment modalities.

  • Synthesis of historical and contemporary therapeutic approaches.

    • Main Results:

    • The evolution of HF treatment reflects a growing understanding of its unique toxicological profile.
    • Various therapeutic agents and protocols have been explored, with varying degrees of success.
    • A consistent, evidence-based management policy for HF injuries remains a challenge.

    Conclusions:

    • Understanding the historical progression of HF treatment is crucial for current clinical practice.
    • Further research and consensus-building are needed to establish optimal management guidelines for HF exposures.
    • Effective treatment of hydrofluoric acid injuries requires a multifaceted approach addressing both local and systemic effects.
