Foreign body aspirations in children and adults
2022, American Journal of SurgeryCitation Excerpt :Mortality is thought to be related to the inflammation caused by the foreign body in the airways before and during the procedure, the duration of this inflammation before bronchoscopy, the size and type of the foreign body, the damage to the tissues, the long duration of the procedure, hypoxemia, bronchospasm/laryngospasm and other complications that can be seen during and after the procedure. In addition, the rate of negative bronchoscopy in tracheobronchial foreign body aspirations has been reported between 1.5 and 37% in different series.24,25 In our study, the rate of negative bronchoscopy was found to be 30.7%.
Confounders of severe asthma: Diagnoses to consider when asthma symptoms persist despite optimal therapy
2018, World Allergy Organization JournalCitation Excerpt :The most frequent manifestations are cough, wheeze and respiratory distress and sometimes airway collapse. Chest radiographs may show evidence of air trapping or atelectasis of distal lung parenchyma [80] bronchoscopy helps both in diagnosis and in retrieving the foreign body [81]. Cystic fibrosis is the most common fatal hereditary airway disease among Caucasians and can show symptoms at a very young age [82].

2016, International Journal of Pediatric OtorhinolaryngologyCitation Excerpt :Airway foreign body (FB) is a life-threatening emergency commonly seen in children. In the United States, airway FB accounted for 12% of toy-related hazards [1] and 7% of accidental deaths in children less than 4 years of age [2]. Delayed diagnosis of airway FB increased mortality.
