“…Aspirated foreign objects differ according to age, gender, profession, cultural life, socio-economic status, and diet. Whereas inorganic body aspiration is more frequently seen in adults, organic body aspiration is more common in unindustrialized countries (9)(10)(11). Inorganic body aspiration was found in 64% of our adult patients.…”

Objective: The aim of our study is to discuss our experience with foreign body aspirations in our Interventional Pulmonology Unit. Methods:Patients who were referred to our Interventional Pulmonology Unit between January 2008 to November 2014 for foreign body aspiration and whom foreign body was sentential by intervention were included. Data were used from a retrospective analysis. Results:From the 28 patients, 64.3% of them were women and mean age of the patients were 43.5±21.54 years. Most common presenting symptom was cough (96.3%). Half of the patients were presented in 24 hours after the procedure. From the 5 patients that have undergone diagnostic broncoscopy by fiberoptic bronchoscope, foreign body was removed in 3 of them. Rigid bronchoscopy was done in 25 (89.3%) of the patients. In 3 of the patients foreign body cannot be detected by bronchoscopy and removed by surgery. 67.9% of the foreign bodies that were removed were inorganic in nature. Conclusion:Bronchoscopic approaches are effective to decrease mortality and morbidity for the diagnosis and treatment of foreign body aspirations in adults. Rigid bronchoscopic approach should be the first choice in foreign body aspirations but fiberoptic bronchoscopy can also be used in selective cases by experienced physicians.

Foreign body aspiration is a worldwide health problem which often results in life threatening complications. More than two thirds of foreign body aspirations occur among children younger than 3 years. Organic materials such as nuts, seeds, and bones are most commonly aspirated. There is a wide range of clinical presentation, and often there is not a reliable witness to supply the clinical history, especially in children. Maintaining a high index of suspicion is therefore necessary for the diagnosis. None of the imaging methods employed in such cases are diagnostic, and bronchoscopy is frequently necessary for the diagnosis as well as the treatment. In adults, removal of the foreign body can be attempted during diagnostic examination with a fibreoptic bronchoscope under local anaesthesia, which may help to avoid any further invasive procedures with more complications. When diagnosis is delayed, complications of a retained foreign body such as unresolving pneumonia, lung abscess, recurrent haemoptysis, and bronchiectasis may necessitate a surgical resection. However, some of the late complications may resolve completely after the retrieval of the foreign body, therefore, a preoperative flexible bronchoscopy should always be considered in suitable cases.

“…Almost 2.5 million children are affected each year in the United States [7,9,13,14]. Annual death frequencies from such incidents range from 350 to 2000 children and the mortality rate of tracheobronchial foreign body aspiration is approximately 1% [7,9]. Increased awareness on behalf of the parents, teachers, caretakers, and health providers could play an important role in order to lower the risk of this potentially life threatening situation.…”
