Puntos clave

This case aims to illustrate the effectiveness of V-A ECMO in severe hydrofluoric acid poisoning with cardiac complications.
Described a case of a patient with HF poisoning and malignant arrhythmias
Administered V-A ECMO as a life-saving intervention
Conducted a review of pathophysiology related to the complications
Demonstrated recovery from refractory malignant arrhythmias after ECMO initiation
Improvement in cardiogenic shock symptoms post-ECMO implementation
Highlighted the importance of early recognition for timely intervention

Resumen

This case demonstrates the life-saving potential of V-A ECMO in severe HF poisoning complicated by refractory malignant arrhythmias and cardiogenic shock. Early recognition of the need for mechanical circulatory support and timely ECMO implementation may be crucial for survival in such cases.
