Abstract
This review is intended to provide an overview of currently available literature related to caustic ingestion in pediatric patients, including initial management considerations in symptomatic versus asymptomatic children, timing and necessity of endoscopic evaluations, and the use of various therapeutic interventions. Further, this review provides management considerations for children presenting for evaluation following caustic ingestion based on the best available evidence. Additional research is needed to develop conclusive pediatric guidelines that meet GRADE criteria for management of caustic ingestion in children.
