“…Flexible rather than rigid bronchoscopy may be utilized for diagnostic purposes in cases in which the diagnosis is obscure, or if the FBA is known but the location The customary symptoms are coughing and wheezing. Hemoptysis, dyspnea, choking, shortness of breath, respiratory distress, decremented breath sounds, fever, and cyanosis may withal occur (7,8,29) The right main bronchus is the most common location (45-55% of FBs), followed by left bronchus (about 30-40% of FBs), and bilateral bronchi (1-5%)…”

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.

“…It has been estimated that the vast majority of FB aspiration takes place in children under the age of 4, while the peak incidence seems to occur between the age of 12 and 24 months (7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14). These children can move around…”

“…In the United States, over the last quarter century the incidence of FB aspiration has not changed significantly and is unlikely to do so as long as children continue to put objects in their mouths to explore their surroundings. There has been a dramatic decrease in childhood deaths from asphyxiation by ingested objects; accounting for approximately 3000 deaths per year [15]. The associated morbidity in survivors of prolonged asphyxiation is considerable.…”

Five Centimeter Concrete Nail Aspiration in a 2-Year-Old Nigerian Child: A Call for More Parental/Care-Givers’ Education: A Case Report

Introduction: Foreign body (FB) aspiration is a common cause of respiratory emergency in early childhood. Parents and care-givers are usually unaware of initial time of FB aspiration, and the varied symptoms may be confusing to them. Therefore, education on ways of avoiding the incidence is paramount, and prompt hospital presentation will reduce morbidity and mortality. Case Report: A 5 cm concrete nail, which was aspirated by a 2-year-old male Nigerian child of the Hausa ethnic group, was successfully removed by rigid bronchoscopy. We emphasize the need for more parental/care-givers' education on foreign body aspiration among children. Conclusion: Infants commonly play with objects by inserting them in various orifices of their body. This, therefore, predisposes them to aspiration, which will go unnoticed at the time of aspiration. There is a need for repeated parental/care-givers' education on dangers of allowing children to play alone. Parents/care-givers should be conversant with varied presentations of FB aspiration in children, as this will reduce the morbidity and mortality to the minimum.

“…The advantage of spontaneous ventilation is that worsening of airway obstruction is rapidly assessed in a spontaneously breathing patient [1].Other major advantage is the lack of disruption of ventilation when surgeon is attempting to retrieve the foreign body with the bronchoscope's ocular piece open [4]. During bronchoscopy spontaneous ventilation allows for better ventilation with the window of the bronchoscope closed as a spontaneously breathing patient receives fresh gas through the lumen of the bronchoscope as well as by entrainment around the bronchoscope and can exhale the same way [5].…”

Anaesthesia for removal of foreign body bronchus by rigid bronchoscopy in children is a challenging procedure because it is difficult to maintain adequate ventilation and oxygenation in patients in whom pulmonary gas exchange is already reduced. The choice between spontaneous and controlled ventilation and type of drug used are still subjects of discussion. We report a study in five children of use of a technique of spontaneous ventilation using propofol with fentanyl, midzolam and sevoflurane without the use of muscle relaxant. In our study no side effects were seen in the study group. Spontaneous ventilation using propofol, fentanyl, midzolam and sevoflurane can be safely used in children for rigid bronchoscopy for foreign body bronchus removal.
