Tracheobronchial foreign bodies in infants

Similarities and differences in aspirated tracheobronchial foreign bodies in patients under the age of 3years

“…The male to female ratio of subjects in this study was 2.22:1, which is similar to figures reported by other studies [3][4][5]. No significant differences in gender were observed between the three groups (group A: 2.25:1; group B: 2.06:1; group C: 2.82:1).…”

“…The majority of aspirated FBs reported in previous studies have been food items [1,2,5,6,8], as we have also seen in our study. Peanuts are the most commonly aspirated material (54.1%) in China; melon seeds (including sunflower seeds, watermelon seeds and pumpkin seeds) are the second most common FB (19.6%); and animal parts (including pig bones, fish bones, chicken bones and other animal-derived foods) constitute the third most common type of FB (11.1%).…”

Real-Time Video-Assisted Retrieval of Airway Foreign Body in Very Young Pediatric Patients

“…It provides adequate spaces for manipulation of instruments including grasping forceps and enhances ventilation safety during the procedure [15]. However, the conventional method that relies naked eye may have technical concerns such as blind manipulations of the grasping forceps [13,14]. One can easily imagine that the incorporation of an endoscope system could enhance the visualization and manipulation in the rigid bronchoscopy procedure compared with the use of naked eyes.…”

“…Conventionally, this technique involves the insertion of a rigid bronchoscope and naked eye manipulation. With the advancement of medical imaging and endoscope systems, the incorporation of an endoscope to the rigid bronchoscopy procedure has greatly improved the accuracy of diagnosis and manipulation with less morbidity [13,14]. Furthermore, combining optical forceps with endoscopy has enhanced one-hand manipulation under endoscopic guidance [14].…”

“…zusätzlich Remifentanil unter entsprechendem Monitoring empfohlen werden [28]. Bestätigt sich in der flexiblen Bronchoskopie die Verdachtsdiagnose, sollte auf die starre Variante gewechselt werden [14,31,32].…”
