“…However, because 30% of children who swallow batteries may be asymptomatic, any suspected history of battery swallowing should be taken seriously and investigated in detail. 4,9 If BB ingestion is suspected, radiologic anteriorposterior and lateral neck, chest, and abdomen imaging should be performed even if the patient is asymptomatic. 10 In our study, only 37.3% of the participants answered that imaging would be requested for patients admitted with suspicion of BB swallowing in an appropriately complete manner.…”

Objectives Ingestion of button batteries (BBs) causes serious mortality and morbidity. We aimed to evaluate the knowledge level of physicians working in pediatric emergency departments about the updated guidelines for BB ingestion and whether they used honey and sucralfate, which have proven positive effects in preventing mucosal damage, in their daily practice. Methods A “Google Form” questionnaire was prepared and used to evaluate the approach of physicians who worked in pediatric emergency department with questions about pediatric patients who were admitted with the suspicion of BB swallowing. Results A total of 263 physicians, 169 women (64.3%), with a mean age of 34.5 ± 7.3 years, participated in the study. Seventy-five percent of the participants were from tertiary care hospitals, and 60.8% had less than 5 years of pediatric emergency experience. Some 71.9% of the physicians who participated in the survey (n = 189) had no algorithm at their hospitals. Fifty-eight percent (n = 152) of the participants completely and correctly answered all our survey questions about battery swallowing. Fifty-eight (22.1%) of the participants administered sucralfate, and 12.2% (n = 32) used honey treatments in patients who swallowed BBs; 68.1% (n = 179) had never heard of the use of sucralfate, and 77.6% (n = 204) had never heard of honey applications before in the management of swallowed batteries. Conclusion It was determined that the physicians who managed pediatric battery swallowing cases had deficiencies in their treatment approaches, they had no protocol in their institutions, and the use of mucosal damage mitigation and neutralization treatments, such as honey and sucralfate, was insufficient.

Çocuklar gelişim o zellikleri ve merakları nedeniyle yabancı cisimleri ve oyuncakları ag ızlarına go tu rmeye eg ilimlidirler ve bazen onları yutabilirler. Teknolojik aletlerin ve oyuncakların artması ile birlikte pillerin çocuklar tarafından yutulma sıklıg ının da arttıg ı bildirilmektedir. Bu derlemede amaç, çocuklarda yabancı cisim yutulmasında bu yu k bir tehlike olarak go ru len pillerin yutulmasının çocukların sag lıg ı u zerine olumsuz etkilerini incelemek, eg itim/danışmanlık ile gerekli o nlemlerin alınabileceg ini ve kaza sıklıg ının azalabileceg ine dikkat çekmektir. Yapılan çalışmalarda kaza ile yutulan pillerin; o zofagustan trakea ve aorta kadar uzanan yaralanmalara, kanamalara neden oldug u, kostik o zofageal yaralanma, mediastinit, trakeoo zofagial fistu l, o zofagusperforasyonu, o zofagus darlıg ı, trakealstenoz gibi komplikasyonlara hatta o lu me neden oldug u bildirilmiştir. Sonuç olarak, çocukların kaza ile pil yutmasının acil mu dahale gerektirdig i aksi halde o lu mcu l komplikasyonlara yol açabildig i go ru lmektedir. Çocukların pil yutmasına karşı o nlem almak için, ebeveynler ve çocug a bakan kişiler, pil yutulması sonucu gelişebilen tehlikeler hakkında bilgilendirilmeli, yapılacak ev ziyaretleri ile ev ortamını kazalara karşı gu venli hale getirebilmeleri konusunda farkındalıklarının arttırılması gerekmektedir.
