Batteries and Fuel Cells

Batteries and Fuel Cells

A battery is a galvanic cell that is used as a source of electrical power for specific applications. Modern batteries exist in a multitude of forms to accommodate various applications, from tiny button batteries such as those that power wristwatches to the very large batteries used to supply backup energy to municipal power grids. Some batteries are designed for single-use applications and cannot be recharged (primary cells), while others are based on conveniently reversible cell reactions that...

DC Battery

DC Battery

A conductor needs to be a component of a path that creates a closed loop or full circuit to have a continuous current flowing through it. A current starts to flow if an electric field is created inside an isolated conductor that is not part of a full circuit. The conductor quickly develops a net positive charge at one end and a net negative charge at the other. These charges generate an electric field opposite the direction of the applied electric field, which reduces the current. Eventually,...

Area of Science:

Emergency Medicine
Clinical Guideline Development
Pediatric Safety

Background:

Retained button batteries (RBBs) pose a significant risk, particularly in pediatric patients, necessitating standardized emergency management protocols.
Existing guidelines for RBB management within UK National Health Service (NHS) hospitals exhibit considerable variation in assessment, investigation, and treatment approaches.
A critical need exists for a unified, evidence-based guideline to ensure consistent and effective emergency care for RBB ingestions.

Framework:

A comprehensive analysis of current UK NHS hospital guidelines for RBB management was conducted.
Published literature on the emergency management of RBBs informed the guideline development process.
Multidisciplinary input was sought to create a consensus-based clinical guideline.

Implementation:

The developed guideline is a single-page document designed for immediate use by frontline healthcare professionals in emergency departments.
The guideline focuses on the initial investigation and management of patients presenting with RBBs.
The guideline has been officially published by ENT UK (British Association of Otorhinolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery) as a clinical guideline.

Implications:

The new guideline aims to standardize and improve the immediate care provided to patients with RBBs, reducing variability in practice.
Enhanced consistency in management is expected to improve patient outcomes and reduce potential complications associated with RBBs.
The guideline's publication by ENT UK facilitates its widespread adoption and integration into emergency care protocols across the UK.
