Abstract
Foreign body is an object or a substance that is foreign to the location where it is found. Foreign body in the airways is a serious event and on occasions, fatal if not managed properly in time. Accident resulting in death from the inhalation of the foreign body continues to take a formidable toll of the life every year. The problems associated with the inhaled foreign bodies receive little attention. This is a very serious life-endangering emergency, which is quite frequently encountered. Hence based on above findings the present study was planned for Evaluation of Different Factors, Diagnosis and Findings of Tracheo- Bronchial Foreign Bodies in Cases from Bihar Region. The present study was planned in Indira Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences, Sheikhpura, Patna, Bihar, India. Total 30 cases of age from 1 year to 8 years of both the sexes were enrolled in the present study. Bronchoscopy is performed under general anesthesia in the operation theatre, with inhalational induction agent Halothane. Skilled pediatric anesthesia is vital and close cooperation between anesthetist and bronchoscopist is essential to ensure the alveolar ventilation is maintained throughout the procedure. The data generated from the present study concludes that Diagnosis depends on high level of suspicion in a child with sudden onset respiratory distress. Children witnessed to choke while having small objects in their mouth and subsequently develop raspy respiration, wheezing, or coughing should undergo prompt bronchoscopy under general anaesthesia, regardless of radiographic findings. In conclusion, the results of bronchoscopy are very satisfying when the child recovers from airway obstruction.
