AI Article Synopsis
- Tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) is an abnormal link between the trachea and esophagus that can occur due to trauma, ingestion of harmful substances, or medical interventions.
- Rare cases, such as those caused by swallowing batteries, haven't been previously documented in pediatric anesthesia or otorhinolaryngology.
- The text covers the diagnosis, anesthetic care, and surgical treatment for these specific types of TEF.
Article Abstract
Tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) is an abnormal connection between the trachea and esophagus. Rare acquired TEF arises from trauma, caustic fluids ingestion, and iatrogenic injuries (ventilation, esophageal atresia repair, radiation, or tracheal/esophageal stents). We discuss the diagnosis, anesthetic management, and surgical correction of battery swallow-induced TEF, not previously reported in the pediatric anesthesia and otorhinolaryngology literatures.
