What should be your expression if you swallowed a Lego head? (Photo: Getty Images)Getty
What do you expect to say shortly after swallowing a Lego figurine head? Shit he is.
But is it true that all things must succeed or at least all the Lego figurine heads must succeed? And if so, how long will it take?
These are the key questions addressed in a study recently published in the Journal of Pediatrics and Child Health. If you say "but I do not usually eat Lego figurine heads", you probably are not 6 months to 3 years. In these times of glory, chances are you're trying to put all kinds of things in your mouth, according to a publication in the newspaper. World Journal of Pediatrics, aptly titled "Ingestion of foreign bodies: children like to put objects in their mouths." IIn 2002, more than 128,000 incidents of ingestion or aspiration of foreign bodies were reported in the United Kingdom, with parts being the product most commonly swallowed by children. But do not worry, kids are not like Ponzi schemes. The money will probably be returned. A study published in the BMJ in 1971, finding that most coins were searched after 3.1 to 5.8 days without any real problem.
However, as a team "do not forget the bubbles", who wrote the Journal of Pediatrics and Child Health study, pointed out that few studies have been conducted on "the second most commonly ingested element, classically classified in the category" toy parts ". team composed of Andrew Tagg (University of Melbourne)Damian Roland (Leicester Royal Infirmary), Grace SY Leo (Sydney Children's Hospital)Katie Knight (Royal Hospital, London)Henry Goldstein (Lady Cilento Children's Hospital)and Tessa Davis (Royal Hospital, London) used a discussion forum to select topics for study, which were health professionals in pediatric hospitals and willing to swallow a Lego figurine head to answer the following question:
We finally answered the burning question: how long does it take for the head of an ingested lego to pass?
This is a dedication to pediatrics – but it was worthwhile to advance pediatric science and emergency care.https: //t.co/tZ4b9Yo8Kf pic.twitter.com/Nda7rqs7Zl

They stated that subjects would not have been able to undergo previous gastrointestinal surgery, have problems swallowing objects or have an "aversion to research in feces". The authors of the study did not specify what they meant by "dislike" and where exactly during the conversation the question of "aversion" appeared. Six people finally volunteered for the study.
Before swallowing Lego's heads, each participant had to keep a three-day diary on the stool, which could be disconcerting if it were confused with an ordinary diary. The researchers developed a stool hardness and transit score (SHAT) to measure the frequency and laxity of their stools. A higher SHAT score meant that the participant had more frequent and more flexible stools, which could affect the speed with which you headed Lego's head. Each patient has a pre-SHAT score, calculated for the 3-day period preceding the Lego head meal, and a SHAT score for the time elapsed between ingestion and deflation of the Lego head. Thus, each participant received 2 SHATs.

Once Lego's head swallowed, the next step was to follow the stool and look for Lego's head. The authors wrote that "the research was conducted on an individual basis and that the research technique was chosen by the participant". In other words, each participant had to dig into his own shit. The researchers then compiled what they described as the FART (Found and Retrieved Time) score. The FART score was just the number of days needed to pass and collect the Lego Head, but who can miss the opportunity to say the word FART?
Here is the shit about the 6 volunteers:
| Patient | A | B | C | re | E | F |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Age | 38 | 41 | 45 | 34 | 27 | 32 |
| Sex | F | M | M | M | F | F |
| Number of stools to recover | 2 | N / A | 3 | 3 | 1 | 1 |
| FART Score | 1.42 | N / A | 3.02 | 1.42 | 1.54 | 1.14 |
| Pre-SHAT score | 3.33 | 3 | 5.67 | 3 | 4.67 | 4.3 |
| SHAT score | 5.63 | N / A | 2.96 | 7.76 | 1.95 | 3.51 |
Why does Patient B have an "NA" for most entries? NA means "not available" but can mean "nada" because even after two weeks, that person could not find Lego's head in his poop. Somewhere, a body of Lego remains without a head.
For the other 5 participants, the FART score ranged from 1.14 days to 3.04 days for an average of 1.71 days. In other words, it took on average about 41 hours for the Lego head to reappear. Incidentally, the team found no correlation between the FART and the SHAT, that is to say the scores.
Of course, this study had its limits. It was a very small study with only 6 people and therefore did not represent the wide range of body and bowel dynamics that may exist in the population. In other words, will these results be valid for all kinds of SHAT scores? In addition, the participants were adults. And adults can be somehow different from children from 6 months to 3 years, according to the adult, of course.
In addition, the authors pointed out that "the The study population could not ignore the results of the study because we felt that it was unfair for the authors' partners or authors to search in their waste. "Speak high standards for our partners and colleagues.The authors added:" We also recognize that the stool hardness and transit score is not an ideal substitute for the underlying intestinal pattern, but does that participants can get themselves SHAT without expert knowledge makes it an inexpensive tool. "
Of course, the results of the study may not be applicable to other objects of different sizes and shapes, such as articulated action figures containing weapons, spinning spinners and futons. Larger and less uniformly shaped objects can get stuck in the throat, esophagus or various sphincters, crevices and curves of the gastrointestinal tract. This study should not make you swallow heads of Lego figurines either.
This study provides some assurance to parents and anyone who needs a Lego head to complete a body that such a small piece of toy will poop without complications, usually within 1 to 3 days. The authors also added that "it is recommended to parents not to look for the object in the stool because it is difficult to find". In the end, if you or your child swallows such an object, you risk going to the bottom with him.
