Clinical Trial Summary
Button batteries are found in all householders and can be responsible for poisoning, in
particular in children. Unexpected complications and death in children who have ingested
button battery have been published for over twenty years in medical literature. There are
many questions related to the treatment that remain unanswered, because some data are missing
in previously published studies. The main objective of this study is to precisely describe
poisoning cases by button battery in order to propose a better management
Description:
Button batteries are found in all householders and can be responsible for poisoning, in
particular in children. Unexpected complications and death in children who have ingested
button battery have been published for over twenty years in medical literature. The most
serious cases are those related to the ingestion of button cells, especially in children,
when the battery gets stuck in the esophagus. Poison control centres, as well as
addictovigilance centres, are regularly called upon for serious poisoning resulting in
hospitalization, for which precisely description is most often missing or difficult to obtain
and limits the efficiency of the management of these poisonings. So there are many questions
related to the treatment that remain unanswered, because some data are missing in previously
published studies. For example, in many cases, there is a lack of detail of initial symptoms,
delays between symptoms and completion of further tests, follow-ups… A prospective and
descriptive study about button battery poisoning performed on data collected by French PCC
will be conducted between the 1st June of 2016 and the 31 May of 2018: any call in a PCC that
occurred during the period studied and concerning an exposure to a button cell regardless of
the route of exposure, the age of the patient, and its symptomatology will be included. The
following data will be taken : severe complication, need for surgery, length of hospital
stay, death, risk factors concerning the battery (size, voltage), abnormalities at the first
fibroscopy.
