Abstract:
Despite ongoing efforts of the national Button Battery Task Force (BBTF), cases of major morbidity and mortality continue to be reported at a higher rate after ingestion of higher voltage and larger button batteries. Initiation of sucralfate or honey shortly after some button battery ingestions is crucial to prevent further injury while awaiting emergent removal. Endoscopic acetic acid irrigation post removal of button battery may halt deeper injury. Gastroenterologists need to be aware of the updates to the National Capital Poison Center algorithm for button battery ingestion.

Antidotes serve a crucial role in counteracting the effects of poison by inhibiting enzymes responsible for producing harmful drug metabolites. In some cases, these toxic metabolites can be neutralized by endogenous cosubstrates, which are maintained at specific concentrations to prevent interaction with cellular macromolecules and subsequent cell death.
