Ingestions of 20- to 25-mm-diameter cells increased from 1% to 18% of ingested button batteries (1990\u20132008), paralleling the rise in lithium-cell ingestions (1.3% to 24%). Outcomes were significantly worse for large-diameter lithium cells (\u226520 mm) and children who were younger than 4 years. The 20-mm lithium cell was implicated in most severe outcomes. Severe burns with sequelae occurred in just 2 to 2.5 hours. Most fatal (92%) or major outcome (56%) ingestions were not witnessed. At least 27% of major outcome and 54% of fatal cases were misdiagnosed, usually because of nonspecific presentations. Injuries extended after removal, with unanticipated and delayed esophageal perforations, tracheoesophageal fistulas, fistulization into major vessels, and massive hemorrhage.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>CONCLUSIONS:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Revised treatment guidelines promote expedited removal from the esophagus, increase vigilance for delayed complications, and identify patients who require urgent radiographs.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.2009-3037","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,5,24]],"date-time":"2010-05-24T23:29:21Z","timestamp":1274743761000},"page":"1168-1177","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":431,"title":["Emerging Battery-Ingestion Hazard: Clinical Implications"],"prefix":"10.1542","volume":"125","author":[{"given":"Toby","family":"Litovitz","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"National Capital Poison Center, Washington, DC;"},{"name":"Department of Emergency Medicine, Georgetown University School of Medicine, Washington, DC;"},{"name":"Department of Emergency Medicine, The George Washington University School of Medicine, Washington, DC; and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nicole","family":"Whitaker","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Capital Poison Center, Washington, DC;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lynn","family":"Clark","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Capital Poison Center, Washington, DC;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nicole C.","family":"White","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Virginia School of Medicine, Charlottesville, Virginia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Melinda","family":"Marsolek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Capital Poison Center, Washington, DC;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"417","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2010,6,1]]},"reference":[{"issue":"4 pt 2","key":"2021120905353422800_B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"747","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.89.4.747","article-title":"Ingestion of cylindrical and button batteries: an analysis of 2382 cases","volume":"89","author":"Litovitz","year":"1992","journal-title":"Pediatrics"},{"issue":"1","key":"2021120905353422800_B2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"9","DOI":"10.2165\/00002018-199818010-00002","article-title":"The TESS database: use in product safety assessment","volume":"18","author":"Litovitz","year":"1998","journal-title":"Drug Saf"},{"key":"2021120905353422800_B3","unstructured":"American Association of Poison Control Centers.
