Application of point-of-care ultrasound for different types of esophageal foreign bodies: three case reports: A CARE-compliant article.

Abstract

Esophageal point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) has recently been reported as a useful, quick, safe, and simple technique to detect esophageal foreign bodies (FBs).
