Abstract

Button battery ingestion (BBI) is an increasingly common pediatric condition, both nationwide and worldwide. Management algorithms, including treatment with honey or sucralfate within the first 12 hours, should be prepared for use in the emergency care of patients with suspected BBI without initial complications. In this report, we present three pediatric patients who presented to the emergency department with different symptoms and complications and were diagnosed with BBI.

Komplikasyonlu üç düğme pil yutma vakasının çocuk acil serviste yönetimi

Abstract

Çocuklarda düğme pil yutma (DPY) gerek ülke gerekse dünya genelinde giderek sık rastlanan bir durumdur. İlk 12 saat içinde bal veya sukralfat ile tedavi dahil olmak üzere, DPY şüphesiyle getirilen ve ilkin komplikasyon gözlenmeyen hastalarda kullanılacak acil bakım yönetim algoritmaları oluşturulmalıdır. Bu yazıda farklı semptom ve komplikasyonlarla acil servise getirilip DPY tanısı alan üç çocuk hasta sunulmuştur.
