“…In the current study all patients were symptomatic and 97.5% had positive history of choking, important clinical symptom of aspiration; therefore, bronchoscopy was performed. Cough was the second common symptom, similar to as reported in the previous study (Guglielmo and Khemani, 2021). In current study, most patients had normal chest X ray and chest auscultation (normal airway and no sound), unlike previous studies which reported lowered breath sounds and rhonchi (Liang et al, 2015;Sink et al, 2016).…”

To assess the role of rigid bronchoscopy in children with tracheobronchial foreign body aspiration (FBA) a retrospective study was carried out in Pediatrics Ward of Bakhtawar Amin Trust Hospital & Medical & Dental College Multan for 1 year. A total of 80 children aged 6 months to 15 years with foreign body aspiration were included in the study. Data was collected from the medical histories of the patients. Rigid bronchoscopy was performed in all patients under anesthesia. All the data was analyzed by using SPSS version 21. The study was conducted on total 80 patients whose mean age was 2.5 years. 66 (82.5%) patients aspirated organic FBs, while 14 (17.5%) aspirated inorganic FBs. Cyanosis (37,46.2%) and stridor (33,41.2%) were the most common symptoms. In 78 (97.5%) patients rigid bronchoscopy was performed. In 75 (93.7%) not post operative event occurred. Medical history of patients with FBA is important for diagnosis. In addition, bronchoscopy is mandatory in patients with history of choking even if chest x-ray and initial examination are normal.

“…A total of 24 patients provided consent for study, but one patient could not be studied because of limitations with equipment (no properly sized EIT belt was available), and one patient was excluded after beginning the study because of an incorrect clinical diagnosis (foreign body aspiration) (Fig 2 ). 24 Recruitment was stopped before the targeted 34 patients because of feasibility with a marked reduction in bronchiolitis admissions during the winter of 2020 through 2021 associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. 3).…”
