A 48-year-old man accidently swallowed the ring pull from a soft drink can. He complained of pain in his chest. Chest radiographs were normal. A metal detector emitted a strong response when passed across the front of his chest. Oesophagoscopy was carried out and the ring pull was successfully removed. We recommend the wider use of metal detectors by accident and emergency (A&E) department staff particularly when dealing with patients who have ingested metals of low radiodensity.
一名48岁男子意外吞下了一个软饮料罐的拉环。他主诉胸部疼痛。胸部X光片正常。用金属探测器在他胸前扫过时发出了强烈反应。进行了食管镜检查，拉环被成功取出。我们建议急诊部门工作人员更广泛地使用金属探测器，尤其是在处理摄入低辐射密度金属的患者时。
