“…74 Batteries identified on plain film within the oesphagus should be removed endoscopically. 77 A patient with a battery within the stomach should be admitted for observation and repeat plain films at 24-48 hours. Batteries remaining in the stomach after 48 hours should be removed endoscopically.…”

The acutely poisoned patient remains a common problem facing doctors working in acute medicine in the United Kingdom and worldwide. This review examines the initial management of the acutely poisoned patient. Aspects of general management are reviewed including immediate interventions, investigations, gastrointestinal decontamination techniques, use of antidotes, methods to increase poison elimination, and psychological assessment. More common and serious poisonings caused by paracetamol, salicylates, opioids, tricyclic antidepressants, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, benzodiazepines, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and cocaine are discussed in detail. Specific aspects of common paediatric poisonings are reviewed.

“…11,25 Various endoscopic techniques have been described using graspers, toothed forceps and basket snares to achieve battery removal. 26,27 Other authors have described an ingenious method using magnets mounted on the end of a nasogastric tube to achieve battery retrieval under X-ray control. 28,29 If these techniques are employed, it is important to maintain control of the battery at times, to prevent the battery lodging in the oesophagus or the trachea during extraction.…”

Accidental ingestion of electrical batteries occurs commonly in children. This rarely is associated with severe morbidity and mortality.1,2 Significant symptoms can arise due to leakage of alkali or heavy metals from the battery after degradation in the gastrointestinal tract. The main heavy metal of concern in electrical batteries is mercury;3-6 this is the first report of ingestion of a lithium battery in a child associated with systemic absorption of lithium.
