Children, and in particular young children under the age of three, are the most vulnerable for aspiration and ingestion of foreign bodies (FBs). The Red Cross War Memorial Children's Hospital in Cape Town is the only children's hospital in South Africa and is unique in having a dedicated trauma unit for children under the age of 13 as part of its institution. Core activities of Childsafe South Africa (CSA), located at the hospital, are data accumulation and interpretation, development of educational programmes, health inculcation and advising in legislation involving child health. To achieve this task, CSA works in close co-operation with government, industry, non-governmental and community predicated organisations, community groups and individuals. A database of all children treated for trauma at CSA has been maintained since 1991; it currently contains detailed information of over 170,000 injuries in children under the age of 13.This review consists of a literature review combined with data from our database and aims to provide information on our experiences with tracheobronchial aspiration of FBs in children.

“…[7] Rigid endoscopes also have excellent optical visualisation and a wider array of ancillary instrumentation. [8] Generally, teams should be trained in both rigid and flexible bronchoscopy. In our three patients a combination of both techniques was used, but in the third case the rigid endoscope proved to be most useful for removing the larger intact bread tag.…”

Foreign body aspiration is a real emergency for chidlren. Mortality and morbidity rates are directly correlated with clinical symptoms present during admission. The patients may present with a range of symptoms from cardiopulmonary arrest to mild respiratory symptoms without an apparent history of foreign body aspiration. This may lead to delays in diagnosis for several weeks or months which may further worsen lung problems. Chest X-ray or high-resolution computed tomography in the diagnosis phase could be beneficial. Bronchoscopy is used for both confirming the diagnosis and removing the obstruction in airways. Although there is no consensus on which method should be used during these procedures, pharmacological and technical advances in the field of anesthesia has lead to significant decrease in morbidity and mortality. The ventilation and anesthesia methods that would be applied largely depend on the cooperation and compliance between bronchoscopy user and anesthetist. In this article, anesthetic management used to remove foreign bodies in children to remove airway obstructions has been briefly reviewed. Key words: Tracheobronchial foreign bodies, method, anesthesia. ÖZETYabancı cisim aspirasyonları çocukluk döneminin gerçek acil vakaları arasında yer almaktadır. Mortalite ve morbidite oranları girişim öncesi çocuğun kliniğe başvurusunda var olan semptomları ile doğrudan ilişkilidir. Anestezi uygulamasında kardiyopulmoner arrestten, sadece yabancı cisim aspirasyonu hikayesi olmayan hafif respiratuar semptomlara kadar değişen klinikle karşımıza
