“…So even if unwitnessed, a diagnosis of FB should be kept in mind when dealing with respiratory diseases if other signs and symptoms of FB aspiration are present. Physical activities like playing and eating were most common activities during aspiration as supported by Foltran et al [8]. The propensity of children to talk, laugh, and run while chewing also increases the chance that a sudden or large inspiration may occur with food in the mouth.…”

Introduction: Aspiration of foreign body (FB) is a life threatening situation in children. A strong suspicion depending upon clinical presentation can lead to early diagnosis and treatment leading to decreased complication and mortality. This study was conducted to observe the clinical presentation of children undergoing rigid bronchoscopic removal of inhaled foreign bodies under general anaesthesia at a tertiary health care centre in north India.Method: A total of 72 bronchoscopic procedures were done in 71 children during the study period from August 2014 to july 2015. Preoperative demographic data, time interval between aspiration and admission, circumstances of aspiration, suspected type and site of FB, clinical presentation of children presented with suspected FB aspiration was evaluated. All the children underwent rigid bronchoscopy under general anaesthesia using controlled mode of ventilation.Result: Incidence of foreign body aspiration was more in male patients (70.4%). Most of the children(80.3%) were ≤ 3years of age. Most common FB was peanut, found in 42 (59.1%) children. FB was predominately located in right bronchus in 37 (52.1%) children. Playing and eating were the most common activities found in 34 (47.9%) and 32 (45.1%) of children respectively. Most common presenting symptom in our study was cough in 49 (68.1%) cases, followed by noisy breathing/ wheeze in 26 (36.1%) cases. Air entry was decreased in 53 (73.6%) cases and hyperinflation was the most common chest X-ray finding in 44 (61.1%) children.

“…In this study, 18% of parents were unsure whether peanuts are considered as an identifiable cause of FBA; and almost the same percentage disagreed that peanuts and hard nuts should not be given for children under three years of age. Even though most studies have shown that peanuts are the most frequent cause of FBA worldwide [6,[35][36][37][38][39][40].…”

Introduction: Although foreign body aspiration (FBA) can be a life-threatening event, it still can be Preventable. One of the most important risk factors for FBA is a lack of knowledge by the caregivers. Moreover, there are only a few publications evaluating parental knowledge, and none of them address the parents' level of education. Aim of the study:The primary aim is to evaluate parental knowledge of foreign body aspiration among Saudis, and to correlate FBA knowledge with parental level of education; the secondary aim is to choose the most suitable method to spread the knowledge of FBA prevention, and to compare parental knowledge of FBA between Saudis and other nations.Method: A15 FBA-related items questionnaire was developed. The questionnaires were distributed to parents attending routine check up in different outpatient clinics across the two largest advanced secondary hospitals in Dammam city located in the Eastern Province of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.Results: Out of the 500 questionnaires distributed, 452 were recovered and mothers answered most of them. Only17 questionnaires were incomplete and excluded, while 435 questionnaires were analyzed. The studied group was divided into two groups based on level of education; the first group is the middle and high school graduates and was about 55%, and the rest, 45%, were the college graduates. One third of the parents in both studied groups did not recognize a small toy, and/or peanuts as a cause of FBA. Regarding clinical presentation of FBA, 14% and 27% of mothers did not know that sudden choking and coughing were symptoms suggesting FBA, respectively. No statistical significant difference in both studied groups (p-value = 0.785). Conclusion:A substantial number of parents globally including Saudis lack knowledge regarding FBA even among college graduates. To prevent FBA, and to make timely diagnoses, parents should have a thorough continuous education regarding FBA risks, presentation, and management.

Foreign body (FB) in the nose is a frequent situation seen generally among children. A variety of objects left in different sites of the nose has been reported in the literature. Insertion of a FB to the nose is generally via the anterior nares. In this report, an unusual entry site for a nasal FB in a neglected trauma patient is presented. FB should be suspected and investigated in children after penetrating facial injury.
