V-A ECMO for refractory malignant arrhythmia and cardiogenic shock following acute hydrofluoric acid burns: a case report and pathophysiology review

PZPeng ZhaoZSZheng-zhong SheRSRong Shi

Key Points

  • 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

Abstract

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.
