Uso da broncoscopia virtual em pacientes pediátricos com suspeita de aspiração de corpo estranho

Abstract: Foreign body aspiration (FBA) into the tracheobronchial tree is a common problem in children, especially in those under three years of age. Preliminary radiological evaluation reveals normal chest X-rays in nearly 30% of such patients. Tomography-generated virtual bronchoscopy (VB) can facilitate the early diagnosis and rapid management of these cases. The definitive treatment is the removal of the foreign body by means of rigid bronchoscopy under general anesthesia. The objective of this study was to describe… Show more

“…One study 19 notes that this occurrence is most common in children aged below three years old, in whose case diagnosis becomes more difficult when the parents or guardians did not witness the scene. Another study 21 indicates that, in pediatric emergencies, aspiration of foreign bodies is responsible for a large number of attendances, due to the serious respiratory discomfort which generally accompanies the situation. That study reinforces the importance of early diagnosis and intervention, due to the complications and respiratory sequelae, such as, for example, recurrent pulmonary infections.…”
