Foreign Body Obstruction

The records of 14 consecutive cases of esophageal foreign body obstruction in dogs that had undergone transthoracic esophagotomy for foreign body retrieval were reviewed. Clinical results were considered successful in 13 of 14 dogs. One dog was euthanized at surgery because of the severity of associated thoracic lesions. Clinical signs resolved in the remaining 13 dogs. Two dogs had postoperative complications. One dog developed a pyothorax, and one dog developed a subcutaneous seroma. The overall recovery rate was 93%.

Abstract Objective An esophageal foreign body rarely presents as an apparent life-threatening event. However, in children with esophageal atresia, strictures and dysmotility can lead to severe food impactions. Given the underlying anatomy of children with esophageal atresia, a unique risk of severe impaction with resultant airway obstruction is possible. This study reports a case of a child in respiratory distress presenting after a choking event where endoscopy revealed near total tracheal compression from esophageal food impaction. Method Case discussion and review of literature are undertaken. Result A 3-year-old boy with trisomy 21 and history of esophageal atresia who had previously undergone successful repair was transported by helicopter after a choking episode. He was witnessed to have cough followed by apnea, cyanosis, and unresponsiveness, for which he underwent the Heimlich maneuver and required chest compressions for a respiratory arrest. He was immediately taken to the operating room for endoscopy with planned foreign body removal. Rigid bronchoscopy noted near complete obstruction of the airway from posterior tracheal wall compression with no airway foreign body. The airway was secured and a combination of rigid and flexible esophagoscopy subsequently extracted a large bolus of chicken. He was observed in the intensive care unit with no further respiratory event after extubation. Conclusion Esophageal dysmotility and strictures are common in children with esophageal atresia who have undergone repair. Mild airway symptoms are common in children with an esophageal foreign body; however, in children with esophageal atresia a high index of suspicion of an esophageal foreign body is requisite in the setting of acute airway obstruction.

Foreign Body Obstruction

Foreign body asphyxia is a serious clinical problem with high morbidity and mortality rates. It is relatively common among children, especially those younger than 3 years, because they have a high risk of aspirating foreign bodies owing to their tendency to place objects in their mouth and lack of a well-developed swallowing reflex. Moreover, the neurologic outcome after out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCA) in pediatric patients remains generally poor. Here, we report an unusual pediatric case of asphyxial OHCA caused by foreign bodies obstructing the airway, complicating esophageal foreign body, with a neurologically favorable outcome. This case highlights the importance of adequate treatment for pediatric patients with OHCA, as well as the prompt and efficient management for pediatric patients with foreign bodies obstructing the airway and esophagus.
