In this episode, I'll be reviewing button battery ingestions and superficial/mucosal injuries, including risk factors, pathophysiology, and management of known and suspected ingestions. Below is the link I mentioned to a time-lapse video modeling a button battery's effects on tissue, made by Dr. Robert Kramer who is a pediatric gastroenterologist. It's pretty impressive to watch!
