Abstract
Background: Tracheo-bronchial foreign bodies are commonly seen in the paediatric age group due to accidental inhalation which is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Retained foreign bodies in the airway is a life threatening situation as accidental death may occur due to chocking. Methods: is retrospective study was carried out on 45 cases of tracheobronchial foreign bodies in the CTVS Department, Gauhati Medical College Hospital from August 2012 to September 2016. Each patient was analyzed for age, sex, clinical signs and symptoms and results of bronchoscopic removal and the need for thoracotomy and bronchotomy. Results: e most common age group is less than 5 years. Five patients underwent thoracotomy and bronchotomy for FB removal following failed bronchoscopic attempt. ere were two deaths owing to aspiration and sepsis. Conclusion: Rigid bronchoscopy is very effective procedure for inhaled foreign body retrieval with fewer complications, but for impacted foreign bodies of long duration thoracotomy and bronchotomy may require.
