Treatment of HF exposure is a medical emergency and involves several steps:
Immediate decontamination: Remove contaminated clothing and wash the affected area with copious amounts of water. Calcium gluconate: Topical, intravenous, or intra-arterial calcium gluconate may be administered to neutralize fluoride ions and mitigate systemic toxicity. Supportive care: This may include pain management, respiratory support, and cardiovascular monitoring.
