Summary
A child
Area of Science:
- Pediatric Emergency Medicine
- Otolaryngology
- Foreign Body Ingestion/Aspiration
Background:
- Reusable water bottles are increasingly common.
- Accidental foreign body entrapment poses a risk, particularly in children.
- Oral tongue entrapment is a rare but serious complication.
Purpose of the Study:
- To report a unique case of pediatric oral tongue entrapment.
- To review the clinical management of this rare pathology.
- To raise awareness of potential risks associated with reusable bottles.
Main Methods:
- Case report of a 6-year-old female with tongue entrapment.
- Systematic literature review of similar cases.
- Surgical foreign body removal and post-operative management.
Main Results:
- Successful emergency removal of an aluminum water bottle from the oral tongue.
- Minimal injury achieved with specialized tools.
- Literature review identified 14 similar cases, predominantly with one brand of aluminum bottle.
Conclusions:
- Increased use of reusable bottles may correlate with more entrapment incidents.
- Prompt recognition and management are vital for pediatric patients.
- Awareness among healthcare providers and the public is essential.

01:26Esophageal Strictures-II: Clinical Features and Management
51
Patients with esophageal strictures often experience a range of symptoms. Initially, they may have difficulty swallowing solid foods, which can progress to include liquids. Additional symptoms may involve chest pain or discomfort, regurgitating food and fluids, heartburn, unintentional weight loss, coughing or choking during meals, and hoarseness.
Healthcare providers should gather a comprehensive medical history and conduct a physical examination for diagnosis. If esophageal stricture is...

01:26Assessment of the Mouth
139
A thorough mouth assessment, including inspection and palpation of the lips, gums, tongue, tonsils, uvula, and pharynx, is crucial in detecting potential health issues. Diseases ranging from oral cancer to systemic conditions like diabetes could be identified early through careful oral examination. This article provides a detailed guide on conducting a comprehensive mouth assessment.
Mouth Inspection
The inspection begins with visually examining the mouth for symmetry, color, and size.

01:28Esophageal Perforation-II: Clinical Manifestations and Management
44
Esophageal perforations manifest in various clinical forms, influenced by factors such as the perforation's cause and location (cervical, intrathoracic, or intra-abdominal), the extent of contamination, and potential injury to adjacent mediastinal structures. The timing between the perforation occurrence and treatment initiation also affects the clinical presentation.

01:15Endotracheal Intubation I: Procedure
769
Endotracheal or ET intubation is a critical medical procedure used to secure a patient's airway, often in acute respiratory distress, apnea, upper airway obstruction, ineffective clearance of secretions, high risk for aspiration, or during general anesthesia.
The ET tube comprises various components, including a standard adaptor to attach a bag-valve-mask (BVM) or ventilator, a cuff, a pilot balloon, and radiopaque markings along its length to measure the insertion distance. The tube sizes...

01:30Esophageal Strictures-I: Introduction
65
Esophageal strictures involve abnormal narrowing or tightening of the esophagus. They vary in length and severity, ranging from mild constriction to complete obstruction, and are classified as benign (noncancerous) or malignant (cancerous).
Etiology
The primary cause of esophageal strictures is long-standing gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), accounting for about 70 to 80% of adult cases. Chronic acid reflux can lead to injury and scarring of the esophageal lining, culminating in...

01:26Endoscopic Procedures V: ERCP
90
Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a diagnostic procedure that combines endoscopy and fluoroscopy to diagnose and treat conditions related to the bile ducts, pancreatic ducts, and gallbladder. This procedure is beneficial for identifying and addressing blockages, gallstones, strictures, and tumors within the biliary or pancreatic systems. ERCP is both diagnostic and therapeutic, offering the ability to visualize and treat identified problems in one session.
