Summary
This study is designed to obtain data on the safety and efficacy of oral nitroglycerin solution for the treatment of esophageal food impaction in patients presenting to the Emergency Department with presumed esophageal food impaction. The main hypothesis is to determine the success rate of oral nitroglycerin solution in relieving the food impaction by assessing the resolution of symptoms and the ability of the patient to swallow.
