“…Approximately 2.5 million children across the United States are affected by FB aspirations each year, with up to 2000 deaths. 1 Most of these children are younger than 3 years and are at higher risk of inhaling or ingesting FBs owing to their tendency to place objects in their mouths, poor swallowing coordination, and immature dentition. 2 The development of federal regulations has reduced the frequency of FB aspirations and related mortalities.…”

Pediatric A-FBs and E-FBs that obstruct the airway occur infrequently. Most of the patients are referred to teaching institutions. Among patients who were admitted with a diagnosis of airway obstruction from an A-FB or an E-FB, the rates of positive findings at surgery were 37% and 46%, respectively. A surprisingly high mortality rate was noted. Alternative education measures should be considered to train physicians in the management of this infrequent, potentially lethal condition.

“…Across the world, eight persons die as result of FBA, mostly children [28]. Moreover, FBA is a cause of death in44% of infants younger than one year, and in7% of pre-school children, according to the data of National Center for Health Statistics 1993-1995 [29]. In a nationwide survey that was conducted in Japan, 78.6% of163 cases of FBA found that the children were younger than 3 years old, while 85.3% of whom had foreign bodies that were organic in nature such as nuts and beans [30].…”

“…Absence of choking episode does not rule out FBA and may be a risk factor or diagnostic delay [28][29][30]. A combination of signs and symptoms are usual presentation of patients with FBA, with cough and wheezing being the most common symptoms followed by breathlessness and the commonest sign was diminished breath sounds on the affected side [24].…”

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.
