Foreign bodies in the esophagus and stomach This is a very common problem. The part is in the esophagus and stomach. Its foreign body sources are divided into three categories: First, swallowed by mistake, such as children swallowed by mistake coins, glass balls, go pieces, washers, pen caps, candy stems, etc.; the elderly more date kernels, dentures, fish spines, medicinal sealed gold foil tablets, etc.; ordinary ordinary people can also have fish spines, chicken bones, etc.; psychiatric patients swallowed foreign bodies are non-selective, to the point of swallowing irregular small bricks. The second is deliberately done; the most common is in custody yet to be admitted to various criminal suspects, in order to escape punishment swallowed wire, spoon handle, iron cylinder handle, blade, chopsticks, lighters, nails, window hooks, there is really no swallowed items will be the sole of the iron props swallowed into the stomach with a view to bail; followed by husband and wife quarrels, colleagues or conflicts with others, swallowing foreign objects to show the threat, usually women swallowed needles, rings, etc.. Thirdly, stomach stones, mostly eating persimmons, persimmon cake, black dates, hawthorn, and individual rice cakes on an empty stomach. In addition to the third only need to be crushed under the microscope natural discharge without taking out, other must be taken out, there are two methods: first, gastroscopic removal; second, surgery open chest, open abdomen removed. The focus here is on the foreign body of children and the elderly foreign body problem, remember to watch over children, such as buttons, coins, and other easily swallowed items to be away from children. Off-topic sharp objects should be kept away from children, such as needles, bamboo sticks, pocket knives, etc. to avoid accidental injury; the elderly should be repeatedly instructed to avoid denture (dentures), date kernels, etc. accidentally swallowed to reduce unnecessary trouble. Special emphasis, once such things happen, the first time to the hospital, do not use the so-called native treatment, such as accidental ingestion of fish spines, chicken bones, date nuclei, etc. using the wrong practice of swallowing leeks, gulping food, because the insertion of such foreign bodies must be toward the bottom, food from the upper part of the foreign body will only make the foreign body stabbed deeper and deeper, a large amount of food caused by the gastroscopy to take foreign bodies, foreign bodies difficult to show or can not The foreign body is difficult or impossible to show when a large amount of food is removed under the gastroscope, and the removal time is delayed, or even treated when the foreign body is well visible when the food is discharged into the distal end. Sharp foreign body, even if it is stabbed laterally, because the foreign body has been embedded in the esophageal wall, the strength of inlay is much greater than the strength of swallowing expansion, so it will not be swallowed other food to detach the foreign body; in addition, the treatment must be carried out under general anesthesia, eating is a contraindication to general anesthesia, because within six hours after eating general anesthesia is very easy to accidentally cause death by asphyxiation. Therefore, timely consultation is the most appropriate approach.
