What is Pediatric Esophageal Injury Management about?

An 8-year-old child accidentally drank a strong alkali solution, resulting in esophageal burns. Initial management requires securing the airway and providing IV fluids and antibiotics. An endoscopy should be performed to grade the injury and determine the extent. Stricture formation is likely and will require dilation after 6-8 weeks to allow healing. Esophageal replacement may be needed if the stricture is severe and refractory to dilation.
