Removal of Large Foreign Body in the Bronchus by an Unusual Method
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF RECENT TRENDS IN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY - Year 2014, Vol 10, Issue 3
Abstract
Anaesthesia for bronchoscopy is challenging in paediatric patients as the airways are narrower and desaturation is faster compared to adults. Life threatening intra operative complications may lead to significant morbidity. Organic foreign bodies that are small enough to pass below the level of cricoid cartilage expand due to their hygroscopic nature sufficiently to make their exit through vocal cords impossible. In these circumstances a tracheostomy is needed for removal of F.B. without causing much airway trauma. Cooperation and communication between the surgeon and the anaesthetist is the key to safe and successful outcome in such situation.
