pH‐neutralizing esophageal irrigations as a novel mitigation strategy for button battery injury
Abstract
Objectives/Hypothesis Ingestion of button batteries (BB) can rapidly lead to caustic esophageal injury in infants and children, resulting in significant morbidity and mortality. To identify novel mitigation strategies, we tested common weakly acidic household beverages, viscous liquids, and Carafate® for their ability to act as protective esophageal irrigations until endoscopic removal of the BB. Study Design Cadaveric and live animal model....
