| Popis: | Corrosive injury to the GI tract still poses great challenges with regards to the initial evaluation triage, as well as the optimization of medical management. Although relatively uncommon in the adult population, these injuries can cause significant morbidity and serious sequelae of complications, such as esophageal strictures and cancer. Prompt recognition of the process and aggressive measures towards the stabilization of the patient are key to a favorable outcome. |
