Abstract
We report a case in which acute digital hydrofluoric acid burns were treated with regional intravenous perfusion of calcium gluconate to relieve pain and protect from further tissue damage. This is the first documented instance of this technique being used. The conventional treatments for digital hydrofluoric acid burns all have their shortcomings; intravenous regional perfusion of calcium gluconate may be an effective method of treatment for digital hydrofluoric acid burns.Keywords
