Foreign Body Bronchus Removed by Tracheotomy
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Anesthesia and Analgesia - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
A 3 year old male child, with 13 kg body weight, referred from a peripheral hospital with suspected foreign body (FB) bronchus. Chest radiograph from that hospital showed absentairo-gram below right bronchus and hyper-inflated left lung, but foreign body could not be seen. Rigid bronchoscopy was performed in emergency theatre under general anaesthesia, with resistance in passing the scopethrough the glottis. The foreign body was difficult to remove after multiple attempts and finally it was removed by the tracheotomy as a life-saving procedure followed by tracheostomy. This patient required an unplanned ICU admission for one day and later shifted to high dependency and then to the ward and he is doing well.
