Honey Can Help If Your Child Swallows a Button Battery 如果孩子吞下紐扣電池,可以用蜂蜜來幫忙 Americans accidentally swallowed nearly 3,500 button batteries in 2019, according to the National Poison Data System. Button batteries are the flat, disc-shaped batteries that you might find in small electronic devices like hearing aids, handheld toys, reading lights and some remote controls. 根據國家毒物數據系統,僅在2019年一年美國人就誤吞下近3500個紐扣電池。紐扣電池是一種扁平的圓形電池,你可以在小型電子設備,比如助聽器、手持玩具、閱讀燈以及某些遙控裝置中見到它。 Because our homes are filled with electronic gadgets and toys, the number of accidental button battery ingestions (BBI) has risen sharply — battery ingestions increased 66.7 percent between 1999 and 2019, mostly occurring in children under 6. While many of those swallowed batteries pass safely through the digestive system, they can also be a serious choking and poison hazard, especially for younger kids. 由于我們的家庭離不開電子裝置和玩具,因此誤吞紐扣電池的發生率也急劇上升。在1999年和2019年之間,誤吞電池率增加了66.7%,絕大多數發生在不滿6歲的兒童中間。盡管許多被誤吞的電池安全地通過了消化系統,但是這些電池會導致嚴重的窒息和有毒危害,特別對于幼兒來說。 The worst culprit is the three-volt CR2032, a disc-shaped lithium-ion battery that looks like a piece of shiny candy to toddlers. With a diameter of 20 millimeters (0.8 inches), the CR2032 can easily get lodged in a child's esophagus. Sadly, more that 90 percent of fatalities from battery ingestions over the past 15 years came from swallowing a CR2032. 3V的CR2032電池是最大的罪魁禍首。在幼兒看來,這個圓形的鋰離子電池看上去就像一粒閃閃發亮的糖果。這款電池直徑為20毫米(0.8英寸),因此非常容易卡在孩子的食管內。讓人痛心的是,在過去15年時間里,超過90%的誤吞電池死亡率都是由于吞食CR2032而引起的。 Esophagus:食管 Beyond being a choking hazard, the electrical properties of button batteries can lead to serious internal injuries. When the battery makes contact with the mucus membrane in the esophagus, it creates a closed circuit, reported a 2018 study. The result is a "hydroxide-rich, alkaline solution" that's caustic enough to liquefy internal tissue in as little as two hours of being stuck in the throat. 除了會導致窒息外,紐扣電池的電氣特性也會導致其會傷害到身體內部。根據2018年的一項研究,當電池接觸到食管內的黏膜時,它會形成一個閉合電路。其結果是,當被卡在喉嚨后,僅需要2小時,含有大量氫氧化物的堿性溶液就足以腐蝕并液化掉人體的內部組織。 mucus membrane:黏膜 Hydroxide:氫氧化物 Caustic :腐蝕性的 If a child accidentally swallows a button battery, they should be taken immediately to an emergency room, preferably at a pediatric hospital. But before you frantically run out of the house, researchers say, feed the kid a couple spoonfuls of honey. 如果兒童不慎吞食紐扣電池,應立刻前往急診處理并且最好是在兒科醫院。但在不顧一切地前往醫院之前,研究人員建議可以給孩子喂幾勺蜂蜜。 Frantically:瘋狂地、不顧一切地 Spoonful:一勺(的量)the amount that a spoon can hold Yes, Honey 沒錯,用蜂蜜 It sounds like a folksy home remedy, but a report on BBI events published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal in September 2021, found that injuries from swallowed batteries can be mitigated by small doses of honey administered while waiting for the battery to be removed. That's because honey is slightly acidic, which helps to neutralize the alkaline solution created when the battery touches the esophageal lining. 這聽起來有點像家里的土辦法,但是在2021年9月加拿大醫學協會期刊發表的紐扣電池吞食案例報告則表示,在等待電池被取出期間,少量服用蜂蜜可以減輕由于吞食電池所造成的身體傷害。這是因為蜂蜜具有弱酸性,這有助于中和電池接觸到食道內膜后所產生的堿性溶液。 Folksy:具有民間傳統的 The new recommendation is based on the 2018 study where researchers, working with baby pigs, found that 10 milliliters (2 teaspoons) of honey administered every 10 minutes was "ideal" for neutralizing the damage inflicted by the swallowed battery while waiting for it to be removed. The pigs still suffered from an ulcer at the point of contact, but none of the injuries led to a perforation of the esophagus, which is the most serious condition. 這項新的建議以2018年的一項研究為基礎。在這項研究中,研究人員通過豬幼崽發現,在等待電池被取出期間,每分鐘服用10毫升(2茶匙)蜂蜜是中和電池所帶來的損傷的理想方案。接觸點所形成的潰瘍會導致豬幼崽疼痛,但是還不至于形成食管穿孔,而這是最為嚴重的受傷情況。 Ulcer:潰瘍 Honey outperformed a dozen other household liquids like Gatorade, apple juice and maple syrup, which had minimal to no protective effects. The only other liquid that matched the effectiveness of honey for swallowed batteries was Carafate, an ulcer medication. 蜂蜜的效果要比其中幾種家用食品要好,比如佳得樂、蘋果汁和楓糖漿,這些食品幾乎或完全沒有保護作用。唯一一種和蜂蜜同樣有效的液體是硫糖鋁,一種治療潰瘍的藥物。 We should emphasize that honey is NOT a treatment or "cure" for a swallowed battery, but rather a way to lower the risk of certain injuries while waiting for other medical interventions. If you see a child swallow a battery, or even think they may have swallowed one, take them to the hospital where doctors can give them an X-ray and figure out the best course of action. 我們要強調的是,蜂蜜并非用來治療或治愈吞食電池,相反其是一種在等待其他藥物干預期間減少某些受傷風險的方法。如果你看到孩子吞食電池,或甚至懷疑他們可能已經吞食電池,請帶孩子前往醫院。醫院的醫生會安排孩子接受X射線檢查并制定最佳的治療方案。、 來源:How Stuff Works 編輯&翻譯:Sarah,譯銳翻譯![]()
