Abstract

After a retrospective study of 17 cases of caustic intoxication in the intensive care unit, the epidemiologic, pathophysiologic, clinic and therapeutic aspects are reviewed. The following procedure is suggested: early endoscopies, abstention of any gastric lavage, corticosteroids and empiric antibiotic therapy and the most early possible introduction of a parenteral nutrition.
