Background: Aspiration of a tracheobronchial foreign body is a serious and fatal event. Progress in terms of prevention, first aid, and endoscopic technology, caused a decline of almost 20% of deaths from foreign body aspiration that occurred in the United States. Statistically, the percentage of foreign body aspirations based on their respective location is: 5% hypopharynx, 12% larynx-trachea, and 83% bronchus. Most cases of foreign body aspiration occur in children aged <15 years old; about 75% of foreign body aspirations occur in children aged 1-3 years. The female-to-male ratio is 1.4:1. Case: A 11-year-old boy swallowed needles while playing flashlight about 2 hours before coming to Pulmonary Emergency Room of Dr. Soetomo General Hospital. Discussion: Chest X-ray examination found a shadow of metal density projected in the right lung. Fiber optic bronchoscopy (FOB) was performed for diagnostic and therapeutic indication to see the presence of a foreign body in the airway and remove the foreign body, but failed. When the needle was extracted, the patient coughed that the needle bounces to the supramaxilla area. FOB with nasal cavity approach successfully extracted the corpus alienum. Conclusion: Corpus alienum of airway sometimes is difficult to extract. FOB with nasal cavity approach can be done to manage corpus alienum in the upper airway that moved from lower airway when FOB was performed.

Mortality And Morbidity

BACKGROUND Foreign body aspiration (FBA) in children is one of the major causes of death in developing countries, the diagnosis of which can be missed due to varied presentation. It is one of the causes of choking among children which, if not recognized early may lead to fatal consequences. Early recognition and prompt intervention may reduce the mortality and morbidity. In this study, we wanted to assess the clinical profile of children with foreign body aspiration/ingestion, determine the nature and location of foreign body and also determine the outcome among children with foreign body aspiration at a tertiary care centre. METHODS This cross-sectional study was taken up to analyse the clinical profile, to study the types, location and the outcome of children with foreign body aspiration. All children in the age group of 2 months to 12 years admitted to Niloufer hospital, Hyderabad from January 2018 to December 2019 with either history of FBA or clinical features suggestive of FBA even in the absence of history were included in the study. Age, sex, clinical features (C/F), duration of illness were noted. A chest X-ray was done in all cases, whereas a computed tomography (CT) scan was done in children where clinical features & chest X-rays were inconclusive. All children fulfilling the inclusion criteria were subjected to bronchoscopy under general anaesthesia by ENT surgeons. The findings like type and location of the foreign bodies were noted. Statistical analysis was done by statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) software version 10.0. RESULTS Of 108 children studied, 60 % of cases were males and 40 % were females. 55 % of cases were below the age of 3 years. Common symptoms were rapid breathing (68 %) and cough (38.8 %). Nuts & seeds were the common foreign bodies seen in 47.30 %, out of which groundnuts were the most common. Organic foreign bodies accounted for 58.11 % while inorganic was 41.89 %. The common site of lodgement of foreign body was right main bronchus (35.59 %), followed by left main bronchus (27.11 %) and sub-glottis (8.47 %). CONCLUSIONS Foreign body aspiration is difficult to diagnose in children and a delay in diagnosis can lead to mortality and morbidity. Early intervention by bronchoscopy goes a long way in improving survival. Clinical suspicion is the key to the diagnosis. KEYWORDS Foreign Body, Bronchoscopy, Children

Actual Event

Foreign body aspiration is not an infrequent encounter in the practice of otolaryngology and requires immediate attention. The vast majority of foreign body aspirations occur in children less than 3 years of age, and the actual event of aspiration is frequently not witnessed. Although inhaled foreign bodies most often lodge in the bronchi, laryngotracheal foreign bodies also occur and are potentially more dangerous. Specifically, subglottic foreign bodies present unique clinical challenges. The diagnosis of subglottic foreign bodies is often difficult and they are commonly confused with other causes of upper airway obstruction. We present our experience with the diagnosis and management of seven patients with subglottic foreign bodies, who presented with an abnormal airway and whose problems were initially misdiagnosed. The radiographic and clinical features are discussed with a review of our surgical management.

The authors present the case of a 4-year-old child admitted to the ENT Department with possible pulmonary foreign body aspiration. A detailed history revealed a clinical picture that seemed to depict an absence episode (with partial loss of conscience and cianosis) occured when eating, less the symptomes of a respiratory foreign body. Diagnosis needed full respiratory endoscopy and neurologic evaluation for correct assesment and effective therapy approach.

A case of spontaneous pneumopericardium occurred in the patient after the aspiration of no sharp foreign body. The patient was sent to Operation Theater (OT), bronchoscopic extraction of the foreign body was performed, and the patient was stable postoperatively. Serial follow up X-rayswere done and showed resolving of the pneumopericardium.
