[Therapy of hydrofluoric acid burns].
Treatment of hydrofluoric acid burns differs very much from treatment of other acid burns. Incorrect anamnestic data caused a delayed specified therapy on one of our patients, who had a cardiac arrest several hours after the accident. We suggest to control serum-electrolytes frequently in every major acid burn and have a chemist analyse the acid at the site of the accident, even if the anamnestic statements seem "reliable".
