Manual Review

Background. Soft esophageal bolus impaction is an emergency that requires skilled endoscopic removal if persistent obstructive symptoms do not resolve spontaneously after careful observation. Expedited care of these patients is crucial to avoid respiratory and mechanical complications. Other possible options for management include medical agents used to manage it prior to performing endoscopy if access to endoscopy was not available or declined by the patient.Aim. To review the available pharmacological and other nonmedicinal options and their mechanism of relief for soft esophageal impaction.Method. Pubmed, Medline and Ovid were used for search of MESH terms pertinent including “foreign body, esophageal, esophageal bolus and medical” for pharmacological and non medicinial agents used for management of esophageal soft bolus impaction as well as manual review of the cross-references.Results. Several agents were identified including Buscopan, Glucagon, nitrates, calcium channel blockers, and papaveretum. Non medicinal agents are water, effervescent agents, and papain. No evidence was found to suggest preference or effectiveness of use of a certain pharmacological agent compared to others. Buscopan, Glucagon, benzodiazepines, and nitrates were studied extensively and may be used in selected patients with caution. Use of papain is obsolete in management of soft bolus impaction.

Bolus Impaction

Foreign-body ingestion and food bolus impaction are common causes of esophageal obstruction, with an annual incidence of 13 cases per 100,000, and represent approximately 4% of all emergency endoscopies. Although the majority of foreign bodies that travel to the gastrointestinal (GI) tract will pass spontaneously, 10 to 20% must be removed endoscopically, and 1 to 5% will require surgery. Key diagnostic and therapeutic decisions are based on common factors, including the type of ingested object, number of objects, timing between ingestion and presentation, anatomic location of the object, and presence or absence of symptoms. Complications relating to foreign-body ingestion are typically uncommon; however, the associated morbidity may be severe and occasionally life threatening, and despite the fact that overall mortality has been extremely low, it has been estimated that up to 1,500 deaths occur annually in the United States as a result of foreign-body ingestion. The initial and follow-up management strategies are crucial to preventing morbidity. This review details the epidemiology, etiology and pathophysiology, diagnosis, management, and complications of foreign-body ingestion. Figures show examples of foreign bodies in the esophagus and stomach, three esophageal areas where a foreign body is likely to be impacted, examples of a meat bolus in the esophagus, radiograph of a patient who swallowed one nail and three batteries, and examples of linear erosions of the esophagus and stomach. Tables list the most common GI pathology predisposing individuals to esophageal foreign-body impaction, timing and management of food bolus impaction and foreign-body ingestion, endoscopic management strategies for food bolus impaction and ingested foreign bodies, and radiographic and surgical management strategies for monitoring progress of foreign-body passage through the GI tract. This review contains 5 highly rendered figures, 4 tables, and 78 references.

Most esophageal food impactions either pass spontaneously or are treated endoscopically. Severe food impactions can require extensive endoscopic therapy that potentially could lead to procedure-related complications. There are few alternate therapies available when endoscopy fails. Traditionally, pharmacologic therapy with glucagon has been performed with varying success. This case report and discussion will outline the management of a complete food impaction and medical therapies available when first-line endoscopic treatment fails. We present a case in which the endoscopic intervention for esophageal food bolus impaction was unsuccessful.
