If a patient has a chicken bone stuck in the esophagus, the common methods of confirmation are as follows: 1. Esophagogram: A barium esophagogram with hanging cotton is usually used. The patient swallows the barium esophagogram contrast with cotton, and if the cotton can be seen to be blocked at a certain location in the esophagus, the chicken bone can be confirmed to be stuck in the esophagus; 2. Esophagoscopy: The chicken bone can be visually seen to be stuck in the esophagus, and the patient’s symptoms can usually be relieved after the chicken bone is removed. If the chicken bone is stuck in the esophagus, the patient may have swallowing disorders, such as inability to drink and eat, along with significant chest pain. It can also cause damage to the esophageal mucosa and even perforation of the esophagus. After the patient has undergone esophagoscopy and the foreign body has been removed, the esophagus needs to be observed for perforation and infection should be prevented, and the patient can usually be discharged after several days of treatment and complete relief of esophageal symptoms.
