Description
John Amodio and Michelle Lightman review the risks when young children swallow small round batteries in a 2025 paper. Such batteries now power many home goods, and swallows have risen for years. Most cases involve children under six, and harm rates have climbed sharply over past decades.
A stuck battery can burn the food pipe and harm nearby parts in a short time. The review covers how the burns form, what scans can show, and how teams should act fast. It pulls the facts on counts, harm paths, and care steps into one guide for clinic teams who meet these cases.
