Aim
: Children frequently ingest whatever they find out
near them however, the ingestion of other items has been
subject to less academic study. Parental concern regarding
ingestion applies across a range of materials. In this study,
we aimed to determine typical transit times for another
commonly swallowed object: a coin and a ring.
Methods
: A 6 years old child girl came to the ER with her
mother , last Sunday, after eating a coin and a ring which
the child find on the table desk in the dining room, presents
with abdominal pain and vomits Previous gastrointestinal
surgery, inability to ingest foreign objects and aversion to
searching through faecal matter were all exclusion criteria.
Results
: We asked for a thorax X Ray urgently, because she
started with difficult to breath, tachypnea, paleness and we
found the two foreign objects as you can see in the imagen.
After talking with the Pediatrics General Surgeons, due to
the size of both items, we decided to take them out from
the mouth, after sedation with drugs and dosage according
to her age and size successfully, but in a very difficult way;
we ´re worried about how the objects can pass thorough
the snifters, but we get it. It´s not the first time she ingests
something nothing to do with food, so we suggested her to
be evaluated by the Phsiquiatric team.
Conclusions
: A toy object quickly passes through adult
subjects with no complications. This will reassure parents,
and the authors advocate that no parent should be
expected to search through their child's faeces to prove
object retrieval.
