Fostering design for avoiding small parts in commonly used objects

Diagnostic Performance of CXR and CT in Pediatric Foreign Body Aspiration: A PICU-Based Bronchoscopy Study

“…The high positivity rate (94.36%) of FBA suspicion in family history and the consistency of presenting symptoms (sudden cough, cyanosis, wheezing) with the literature [2,13,[17][18][19][20] once again support the role of patient history in the diagnostic process [17,18,[20][21][22][23]. Although rare, cases presenting with syncope or cardiopulmonary arrest should prompt the consideration of FBA as a differential diagnosis [24,25].…”

ERS statement: interventional bronchoscopy in children

“…Caregivers and healthcare professionals have called for the general public, and especially parents of young children, to be made aware of the risks of giving children foods that are too small for them to chew and swallow safely, or toys with small detachable parts, and how to identify the signs of FBA [171,[174][175][176]. If caregivers are aware of the risks, and supervise the handling of foreign objects by children, any ingestion, insertion or inhalation can be reported and responded to promptly, thus reducing the risk of damage or even death [175]. Caregiver information is essential from the age at which children start eating solid foods, with nuts and crunchy foods such as carrots of particular concern [174,177].…”

On choking and ingestion hazards for children in the United States

“…The nature of FBA and FBI injuries depends largely upon the type of foreign body involved (see, e.g., [48]). It may be food (see, e.g., [8,38,49,50]), non-food (see, e.g., [32,51]), or miscellaneous solid or flexible objects including balloons, coins, seeds, nuts, safety pins, pen caps, balls, marbles, toy components or small batteries (see, e.g., [52,53,5,54]). The concern about safety hazards related to choking and suffocation accidents has given rise to a number of safety alarms and epidemiological studies (see, e.g., [1,2,3,55,11,56,20,57,58,59,60,21]).…”
