“…This presses the importance of imparting education among parents that prepares them to recognize and manage such events thereby decreasing morbidity and mortality associated with it. 20 Multiple platforms including electronic media, print media, education through campaigns or medical personnel can be engaged in achieving an optimum awareness among the parents. Literate parents had significantly different knowledge regarding prevention of FBA in our study and in published literature.…”

Background: Foreign body aspiration (FBA) is a commonly observed, fatal but preventable condition in children. To reduce the incidence of FBA, it is essential to provide parents with knowledge and guidelines regarding the prevention and management of FBA. Objectives: To assess parental knowledge and parental role in the prevention and first aid management of foreign body aspiration in children. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out at Mayo Hospital, Lahore from January 2019 to September 2019. After IRB approval and informed consent, 151 parents were enrolled through convenient sampling. Data were recorded in a structured questionnaire and analyzed through SPSS version 26. Results: Breathlessness and vomiting were recognized as symptoms of FBA by 49.7% & 7.3% of parents respectively. Hand clutched to throat, color & voice change were recognized as signs by 6.6 %, 9.9 % &10.6 % of the parents. As a first aid measure, 66.2% of individuals knew about back slaps, while only 2% were aware of abdominal thrusts. Literate parents were well aware of the facts that children under the age of three should not consume seeds, hazelnuts, and hard nuts and the child should not laugh or talk while eating compared to illiterate parents (p<0.05) Conclusion: The majority of the parents are not well aware of signs, symptoms, preventive measures and first aid measurements regarding FBA.

“…Educational interventions aiming at preventing choking incidents play a pivotal role in filling knowledge gaps and have proven their efficacy in reducing injury rates [ 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 ]. Research conducted by Bentivegna and colleagues [ 6 ] involving 202 participants showcased a significant improvement in knowledge regarding choking hazards and prevention immediately after the participants viewed an educational video—an enhancement that endured even 30 days later.…”

Choking stands as the fourth leading cause of unintentional injury deaths. This research aimed to evaluate the ability of young schoolchildren to grasp and remember choking-management techniques, as well as to compare the effectiveness of instructors. We conducted a randomized controlled trial to assess the impact of choking training on young children. We randomly selected 180 children aged 4–8 years and divided them into a training group (120 children) and a control group (60 children). We evaluated the students’ response to a choking incident with a specific scenario one day before, one day after, and two and seven months after the training, as well as once to the control group. Before the training, there was no significant difference between the groups. However, after the training, the training group’s scores showed a significant increase compared to their pre-training scores and those of the control group. Even at two- and seven-month post-training, the training group’s scores had decreased but remained higher than their pre-training scores and those of the control group. Choking training can benefit young children. Our research highlights the equal importance of both regular classroom teachers and specialized personnel in imparting these essential skills. However, further research is necessary to confirm these observations and explore methods for sustaining the acquired knowledge from the training.
