*5% of FB are more than 1 FB
 
*Disk batteries can cause esophageal burns 4hrs & perf in 6hrs
 
== ==
 
 
==Diagnosis==
 
 
Clinical
 
Consider CXR and/or soft tissue lateral x-ray
 
(soft tissue lateral of neck, cxr, kub), if no FB on xr (radiolucent, ie plastic, button), but child w/ sx or strong hx of recent FB ingestion, then endoscopy is indicated.
 
*Coins in the esoph are in coronal plane & coins in trachea in the sagital plane
 
 
==DDx==
 
 
Tracheal/lung aspiration
 
 
==Treatment==
 
 
STABLE
 
1) Food bolus (soft; ie. no bones)
 
    -glucagon (caution causes vomiting)
 
    -fails --> endosopic removal
 
2) Coin (or similar round/smooth FB)
 
    a. Below diaphram
 
          i. asymptomatic
 
              -d/c home, check stool x 1 wk, repeak KUB if not passed as outpt
 
          ii. sx obstruction or perf
 
              -surgery
 
    b. Above diaphram
 
          i. asymptomatic
 
              -Obs + repeat XR x 6hrs
 
              -Consider "Foley manuver" if fails Obs
 
3) Disk or button battery
 
    a. Esophagus --> immediate removal (endoscopy)
 
    b. Below diaphram
 
          i. asymptomatic
 
              -Outpt obs with close f/u
 
              -needs to be removed if still in stomach after 24-48hr
 
          ii. Sypmtomatic
 
              -immediate removal (endoscopy)
 
4) Sharp (ie bone, pin, etc) or long (>3-6cm)
 
    a. Esophagous, stomach, and/or symptomatic
 
          --> Immediate removal (endoscopy)
 
    b. Below stomach and asymptomatic
 
          -->Outpt obs with close F/U
