Children, and in particular young children under the age of three, are the most vulnerable for aspiration and ingestion of foreign bodies (FBs). The Red Cross War Memorial Children's Hospital in Cape Town is the only children's hospital in South Africa and is unique in having a dedicated trauma unit for children under the age of 13 as part of its institution. Core activities of Childsafe South Africa (CSA), located at the hospital, are data accumulation and interpretation, development of educational programmes, health inculcation and advising in legislation involving child health. To achieve this task, CSA works in close co-operation with government, industry, non-governmental and community predicated organisations, community groups and individuals. A database of all children treated for trauma at CSA has been maintained since 1991; it currently contains detailed information of over 170,000 injuries in children under the age of 13.This review consists of a literature review combined with data from our database and aims to provide information on our experiences with tracheobronchial aspiration of FBs in children.

Trakeada kalan tam tıkanma yapmayan cisimlerde astma benzeri wheezing, trakea içinde hareket ettikçe yuvarlanma sesi duyulabilir, bazı olgularda bu hareket, zeytin çekirdeği aspirasyonunda olduğu gibi, palpasyon ile hissedilebilir (3)(4)(5)9) .…”

Foreign bodies of the airway are common occurrences in the pediatric population. Children requiring anesthesia for removal of airway foreign bodies can present many challenges. In this case, the patient required urgent removal of a foreign body while symptomatic with upper and lower respiratory symptoms.Circumstances such as these can result in higher intraoperative and postoperative complications. This presentation describes the clinical decision-making process and the discussion of common modalities for diagnosis, treatment, and anesthetic management.
