An expert panel of Italian endoscopists was convened by the SIGENP Endoscopy Working Group to produce the present article that outlines practical clinical approaches to the pediatric patient with a variety of foreign body and caustic ingestions. In some cases, a CT scan should even be done before endoscopy or endoscopic removal of the battery (see below). Therefore, including battery ingestions in the differential diagnosis of unexplained symptoms is paramount to avoid delaying the diagnosis and increasing the risk of severe complications and even death. Button Battery Ingestion Triage and Treatment Guideline ; National Battery Ingestion Hotline: 800-498-8666; IMAGING AP single view (chest, neck, abdomen) . Federal government websites often end in .gov or .mil. 28. Another indication for endoscopic removal in the stomach is the co-ingestion of a magnet as this may lead to entrapment of the stomach or intestinal wall between the battery and the magnet causing necrosis. Today, high-powered magnet sets are being sold without restriction in the United States, resulting in a dramatic increase of ingestion injuries among children. Honey and sucralfate can be considered in ingestions 12 hours while waiting for endoscopic removal but should not delay it. 14. Patients can even present with an acute hemorrhage (2,14,22). In 100 patients (57%), the foreign body was visualized. Differently from the other published guidelines, the proposed one .

It is important to keep in mind that delayed diagnosis or removal may be associated with more life-threatening complications. Medical decision making, however, remains a complex process requiring integration of clinical data beyond the scope of these guidelines. Honda S, Shinkai M, Usui Y, et al. Number 2, February 2018. caustic ingestion; endoscopy; esophageal perforation; foreign body; pediatric. What Is New Guideline for the management of ingested foreign bodies. Careers. Esophageal battery impaction has the highest risk of complications, especially in children <6 years of age and in batteries >20 mm in diameter. 1 Children 5 years of age and younger are responsible for 75% of all foreign-body ingestions (FBIs), 2 and 20% of children 1 to 3 years of age have ingested some kind of foreign body. 2015 Nov;199(1):137-40. doi: 10.1016/j.jss.2015.04.007. Contrast studies with CT scanning (or MRI scanning after battery removal) are necessary to identify complications, such a mediastinitis, fistulas, and spondylodiscitis. 2011;53(4):381-387. A systematic search of the literature was performed to identify publications relevant to the aims of this position paper. These guidelines should therefore not be considered to be a rule or to be establishing a legal standard of care. %%EOF For this, it is essential to collaborate with industry to ensure a clear understanding of the hazards that come with poorly secured products (40). Data is temporarily unavailable. Waters AM, Teitelbaum DH, Thorne V, Bousvaros A, Noel RA, Beierle EA. Emesis/hematemesis. Foreign body ingestion in children: should button batteries in the stomach be urgently removed? Note that MRI scans should never be performed before removal of a battery.

Other complications, such as esophageal strictures, spondylodiscitis or recurrent laryngeal nerve injury may take weeks or even months to develop (1). Postgraduate Course. FOIA During Black History Month, NASPGHAN 50th Anniversary History Project. Epub 2013 Jul 13. In delayed diagnosis of an esophageal impaction (first confirmation of the BB on X-ray >12 hours after ingestion or time point of removal >12 hours after ingestion) regardless of symptoms (serial) CT/MRI scans of the chest and neck should also be considered as the BB may have been lodged in the esophagus previously. [1,2] However, in Asian countries, sharp FB including fish bones, chicken bones, fruit nuclei and dentures . Esophageal perforation is less likely in the first 12 hours after ingestion but this period does contain the peak of electrolysis activity and battery damage (32). ESGE guidelines represent a consensus of best practice based on the available evidence at the time of preparation. 4. 0 N.T. Accessibility No limitation in the search period was made.

Clinical Experiences and Selection of Accessory Devices for Pediatric Endoscopic Foreign Body Removal: A Retrospective Multicenter Study in Korea. In case of significant mucosal damage, a nasogastric tube should be carefully placed endoscopically to maintain patency of the lumen and the patient should not receive any food by mouth until it is certain that no perforation or other complications have occurred (see follow-up section). For advice about a disease, please consult a physician. Location in the mid esophagus should alert the greatest concern for aortoesophageal fistulae (18). An algorithm for the diagnosis and management of BB ingestions is presented and compared to previous guidelines (NASPGHAN, National Poison Center). She had no gastrointestinal symptoms. Again, it is important to note that this recommendation is based on a study in piglet esophagus preparations and a very small study in children (n = 6) (33,35). The Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition (JPGN) provides a forum for original papers and reviews dealing with pediatric gastroenterology and nutrition, including normal and abnormal functions of the alimentary tract and its associated organs, including the salivary glands, pancreas, gallbladder, and liver. Once the BB passed the esophagus almost three-quarters of ingested batteries pass spontaneously within 4 days (24). Differently from the other published guidelines, the proposed one focuses on the role of the endoscopists (regardless of whether they are adult or pediatric gastroenterologists) in the diagnostic process of children with foreign body and caustic ingestions. 30.

Most witnessed ingestions present with acute gastrointestinal or respiratory symptoms, such as vomiting, drooling, dysphagia, odynophagia, irritability, coughing, stridor, and shortness of breath (2,14,22). GIKids is not engaged in the provision or practice of medical, nursing, or health care advice or services. A recent review by Varga et al described 136,191 cases (31 publications, age range 4 months to 19 years) with battery ingestions (alkaline batteries 43.5%, zinc-air batteries 33%, silver oxide batteries 13.6%, lithium batteries 9.7%) in the respiratory and gastrointestinal tract and estimated the risk of complications to be 0.165% with a lethality of 0.04% (61 cases) (3). report no conflicts of interest. The site is secure. . Drterler M. Clinical profile and outcome of esophageal button battery ingestion in children: an 8-year retrospective case series. An increasing number of button battery (BB) ingestions has been described worldwide, mainly because of the wide abundance of batteries in consumer electronics (1,2). The opposite is the case in adolescents and adults, in whom ingestion often is deliberate and related to . This is not the case in the stomach or small bowel. This leads to hydroxide ion formation at the negative pole, which in turn rapidly leads to pH rise causing tissue liquefaction and necrosis, comparable with damage occurring in the esophagus after alkaline liquid ingestion (1012). Khorana J, Tantivit Y, Phiuphong C, et al. To raise public awareness, involvement of the industry, media, schools, family doctors, and pediatricians (through National Pediatric Societies) is also very important. 3. [Google Scholar] . MeSH MeSH Epub 2013 Jul 13. Experimental investigation of battery-induced esophageal burn injury in rabbits. It is not a substitute for care by a trained medical provider. By having such a task force in Europe, we will be able to do so more effectively as we will be able to use a more localized approach. Another mitigation strategy is neutralization of accumulated tissue hydroxide through acetic acid irrigation immediately following battery removal and may be considered an option (21). In delayed diagnosis, even if the battery has passed the esophagus, endoscopy to screen for esophageal damage and a CT scan to rule out vascular injury should be considered even in asymptomatic children. Because of variability in pediatric patient size, there are less firm guidelines available to determine which type of object will safely pass, as opposed to the clearer guidelines in the adult population. Presence of a BB in the esophagus is considered to be a medical emergency and endoscopic removal is necessary as soon as possible (<2 hours). GIKids is not engaged in the provision or practice of medical, nursing, or health care advice or services. The mission of the North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition is to be a world leader in research, education, clinical practice and advocacy for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition in health and disease. 20. When located in the airway or above the clavicles, the ENT doctor should be consulted. 37. Only if the battery still has not passed the stomach by 7 to 14 days, endoscopic removal is necessary as by then the chance that it will pass spontaneously is expected to be minimal. Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition - Volume 64, Number 3, March 2017. Changes in manufacturing over the years have led to larger and more powerful batteries.

In complicated cases, this period should be extended until the patient is stabilized. Possible complications after battery ingestions are listed in Table 1. Curr Opin Pediatr. Physical examination is mandatory to detect ingestion-related complications such as small-bowel obstruction. For more information, please refer to our Privacy Policy. This guideline refers to infants, children, and adolescents ages 0 to 18 years. Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition - Volume 63, Number 1, July 2016. When the battery is located in the esophagus, immediate endoscopic removal is necessary, if possible within 2 hours of ingestion. In case of delayed diagnosis (first confirmation of the BB on X-ray >12 hours after ingestion or time point of removal >12 hours after ingestion) and esophageal impaction the guideline suggests to perform a CT scan in order to evaluate for vascular injury before removing the battery. Khalaf R, Ruan W, Orkin S, et al. Various published case series have indicated that the location and orientation of the BB (negative pole) largely determines where the complications are most likely to occur (Fig. In asymptomatic patients with early diagnosis (12 hours after ingestion) and position of the BB beyond the esophagus, one can monitor with repeat X-ray (if not already evacuated in stool) in 7 to 14 days, which is different from previous guidelines where repeat X-ray and removal is recommended after 24 days and is also based on age. Foreign body and caustic ingestions in children are usually the most common clinical challenges for emergency physicians, general pediatricians and pediatric gastroenterologists. Foreign body ingestions in children are some of the most challenging clinical scenarios facing pediatric gastroenterologists. Most cases are brought to medical attention by a child's caregivers following a witnessed or reported ingestion. Conflict of Interest The authors have no conflicts of interest to disclose. Endoscopic removal of the foreign body in the cardiac catheterization laboratory operation room with fluoroscopic guidance and arteriogram of the aorta allows direct visualization of the BB and . Please enable it to take advantage of the complete set of features! Epub 2015 Apr 8. 1). Diagnostic algorithm for button battery ingestions. 17. Finally, prevention strategies are discussed in this paper. If still present in the esophagus or located in the stomach in a symptomatic patient, immediate endoscopic removal is necessary. Introduction: Rare earth magnets are powerful magnets that can have several negative effects if ingested. Bridging the Gap Between Competencies and Uncertainties in Postgraduate Training in Family Medicine: Results and Psychometric Properties of a Self-Assessment Questionnaire. 6. Disclaimer. Templeton T, Terry S, Pecorella M, et al. When a battery is removed, it is also important to follow-up the patient for the development of complications, such as esophageal strictures. Al Ghadeer HA, AlKadhem SM, Albisher AM, AlAli NH, Al Hassan AS, Alrashed MH, Alali MH, Alturaifi RT, Alabdullah MB, Buzaid AH, Aldandan ZA, Alnasser MH, Aldandan NS, Aljaziri AA. The mechanism of action is thought to be not only coating of the battery and thereby limiting electrolysis but also neutralization of generated hydroxide as both honey and sucralfate are weak acids. In addition, the imprecise nature of the histories often leaves the clinician to question the timing and nature of the ingestion. This has not only increased the risk of esophageal battery impaction but escalated the risk of developing severe complications even more (14). The PubMed wordmark and PubMed logo are registered trademarks of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). For more than a decade NASPGHAN has been leading national regulatory and legislative efforts to protect children from the hazards of high-powered magnets. Moreover, because of the anatomical position and close contact with the respiratory tract and the major vessels, fistulization of the esophagus can be fatal (Fig. At present, there is not enough evidence to make stronger recommendations, and larger prospective studies are needed to assess and stratify the risk for BB in the stomach. Wolters Kluwer Health eCollection 2022 Nov. Xu G, Chen YC, Chen J, Jia DS, Wu ZB, Li L. BMC Emerg Med. Anesthetic implications of the new guidelines for button battery ingestion in children. Endoscopy is often necessary but there is a high risk of misusing this tool with incorrect timing and indications. In asymptomatic cases with location of the battery in the stomach or in the small intestine or colon, patients can be followed up with X-ray 7 to 14 days after ingestion. The PowerPoint version of these slides is available in the Member Center. Even in a large urban setting, parents will often present to a health facility without pediatric endoscopy available and as a result precious or crucial time can be lost. 2022 Sep;17(3):743-745. doi: 10.26574/maedica.2022.17.3.743.
