TreatmentCategory: PLEUROSCOPY Source: A Manual Of Peroral Endoscopy And Laryngeal Surgery Acute esophagitis calls for rest in bed, sterile liquid food, and the administration of bismuth powder mentioned in the paragraph on contraindications. An ice bag applied to the neck may afford some relief. The mouth should be hourly cleansed with the following solution: Dakin's solution 1 part Cinnamon water 5 parts. Emphysema unaccompanied by pyogenic processes usually requires no treatment, though an occasional case may require punctures of the skin to liberate the air. Gaseous emphysema and pus formation urgently demand early external drainage, preferably behind the sternomastoid. Should the pleura be perforated by sudden puncture pyo-pneumothorax is inevitable. Prompt thoracotomy for drainage may save the patient's life if the mediastinum has not also been infected. Foreign bodies ulcerating through may reach the lung without pleural leakage because of the sealing together of the visceral and parietal pleurae. In the serious degrees of esophageal trauma, particularly if the pleura be perforated, gastrostomy is indicated to afford rest of the esophagus, and for alimentation. A duodenal feeding tube may be placed through an esophagoscope passed into the stomach in the usual way through the mouth, avoiding by ocular guidance the perforation into which a blindly passed stomach tube would be very likely to enter, with probably dangerous results.
