Abstract
Background: Foreign body in bronchus constitutes one of the acute problems in ent disease, in the absence of proper and clear history, one must not be deceived by the signs and symptoms which simulate many of the pediatric conditions like tracheobronchitis, pneumonia and tuberculosis etc., so the doctor should carefully extract positive history and then only presence of foreign body should be excluded. Materials and Methods: Analysis of data for the last 4 yrs( March 2013 to March 2017) in our Govt. ENT Hospital pertaining to the experience of bronchoscopy, fifty cases have been studied, revealed the following results. Results: All the fifty cases had successful removal of the foreign body by bronchoscopy One among them needed tracheostomy as the patient developed severe respiratory distress following bronchoscopy Five of the cases required repeat bronchoscopy for removal. Mortality is nil. Conclusion: The bronchoscopy in skilled hands and with recent advances in the field of anesthesia on jet ventilation is a safe procedure but utmost care is required. One should have a clear cut picture of the site, nature and radiological investigations done just before attempting removal.
