Treatment of Caustic Esophageal Injury Graded Zargar IIB on Endoscopy

When endoscopy grades caustic esophageal injury as Zargar IIB, the clinical approach shifts to a more intensive care pathway. Patients at this grade require closer monitoring than lower-severity injuries, and specific measures are taken to manage nutrition and mucosal rest safely.

Clinical Scenario

Caustic esophageal injury confirmed on endoscopy and graded as Zargar IIB — the grade at which closer monitoring becomes necessary and a structured inpatient protocol is indicated.

Management Overview

At Zargar IIB, management centres on intensive care-level monitoring combined with a carefully guided approach to enteral nutritional access — the complete protocol specifies the exact sequence, timing, and procedural considerations.
