[Emergency esophagoscopy in chemical burns in children].
Esophagoscopy performed within the first hours after the burn trauma helps to find out the localisation and extension of the burn. An abundant washing of the esophagus carried out within the first day after trauma, administration of novocain, early feeding and, in case of a general resorptive effect of a poison, a timely correction of homeostasis disturbances permit to manage without bougieurage of the esophagus. Later on a control esophagoscopy favours the following-up of the healing of the burn and the correction of the treatment process, if needed. The described method has been used in the treatment of 225 patients. Late results have been studied in 57 cases of severe and moderate esophageal burns. No scarry strictures have been found.
