Abstract in brief

  • Esophageal foreign bodies and food bolus impaction are common emergency conditions that can cause mild discomfort or severe life-threatening issues like airway obstruction, especially in children and edentulous adults.
  • Diagnosis mainly relies on patient history and physical exam, with imaging like plain chest X-rays used to confirm the presence and location of the foreign object; CT scans are recommended if X-rays are inconclusive or perforation is suspected.
  • The primary treatment is early endoscopy to remove the obstruction, and management of the airway is critical; medications such as effervescent agents or glucagon are generally ineffective and should not delay endoscopic intervention.]

@elewMD yes, still asked to give it. has worked rarely; probably not the med itself; pt still needs a scope as outpatient. I've handed out a few of these :-): https://t.co/y5OcBm7wlf
