ABSTRACT Ear, nose and throat (ENT) emergency procedures demand significant anesthetic challenges. Variety of emergency conditions like deep neck space infections (Ludwig's angina, retropharyngeal, parapharyngeal abscess), acute onset of stridor, epiglottitis, laryngotracheobronchitis, inhaled foreign bodies, facial injuries, etc. are a challenge to both the surgeon and the anesthesiologist and communication and cooperation is vital. Priority in emergency is to clear and secure the airway and consider requirement of ‘shared airway’. Preferred anesthesia and airway technique include awake flexible fiberoptic (FOB) guided intubation in cooperative patients’ and an inhalational induction in uncooperative patient or tracheostomy. Anticipation, vigilance, readiness for difficult intubation, emergency tracheostomy and team work is essential while managing ENT emergency procedures.

This chapter outlines the management of common ear, nose, and throat (ENT) emergencies. The assessment of blood loss and its treatment in the context of severe epistaxis or post-tonsillectomy haemorrhage are detailed. Protocols for dealing with fractured noses, sudden hearing loss, sudden facial palsy, and foreign bodies are discussed.

Introduction Foreign body removal is a common reason for children to attend the emergency department. Generally, aural and nasal foreign bodies are not associated with immediate morbidity unless they are button batteries. There can be consequences of migration and removal. Methods Hospital Episode Statistics for 2010–2016 were used to calculate the number of nasal and aural foreign bodies that have been removed in hospital. Data for adults and children have been compared. Results 8752 nasal and 17,325 aural foreign bodies have been removed from adults and children over the course of 6 years. Children were responsible for 95% of the 8353 nasal and 85% of the 14,875 aural foreign body presentations. Children aged 1–4 years are most at risk of injury. Conclusion Children are more likely to present to hospital than adults with a foreign body in the ear or nose. Aural bodies were more likely to need removal in hospital for both populations. Authors believe that these require identification and removal by an ear, nose and throat specialist to prevent morbidity. The overall number of procedures performed annually in children has not reduced over the study period; an average of 1218 nasal and 2479 aural foreign body removals are performed each year with an annual cost of £2,880,148 to NHS England.

Background. Foreign body (FB) aspiration requires a high index of suspicion for diagnosis and prompt management to avoid morbidity and mortality. This retrospective study was conducted to review pediatric foreign body aspiration at the Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) Unit of the Tamale Teaching Hospital (TTH). Materials and Methods. The theater records of children managed for foreign body aspiration from January 2010 to December 2016 at the ENT Unit of TTH were retrieved and data summarized with respect to age, gender, indications for bronchoscopy, nature of foreign body, location of foreign body, and outcome of the bronchoscopy procedure. Results. A total of 33 children were managed within the five-year study period and comprised 16 (48.5%) males and 17 (51.5%) females. The commonly aspirated FBs were groundnuts (13, 39.4%) and metallic objects (7, 21.1%). The peak incidence occurred in children aged ≤ 3 years. The foreign bodies (FBs) were commonly localized to the right (24.2%) and left (24.2%) main bronchi, respectively. One patient had emergency tracheostomy for failed bronchoscopy. Conclusion. Groundnuts were the most commonly aspirated foreign body with most of the FBs localized in the bronchi.

<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> Foreign bodies in aerodigestive tract is common, frequent, and sometime life threatening emergency for otorhinolaryngologists mainly in the paediatric group. The aims of the present study was to find the incidence of foreign bodies, in relation to demographic factors, type and sites of foreign bodies its clinical presentations and its management.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> A prospective study was conducted on 100 cases coming to the ear, nose and throat (ENT) emergency and outpatient department (OPD). After thorough history, clinical examination, routine blood and urine investigations and urine done. Radiological examination was done to visualize the radio-opaque foreign body, and if the foreign body was not radio-opaque then computed tomography (CT) scan was done.  </p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> Incidence of foreign was 67% in male than 33% in female. Mostly foreign bodies were in nose (49%), followed by oesophageal (31%), abdominal (14%), and bronchus (6%) respectively. 33% were totally asymptomatic, 25% with mucupurulent discharge from nose, dysphagia (16%), nasal obstruction (15%), and odynophagia (11%) respectively. Most of the foreign bodies were inorganic in nature, coin (42%), pearls (8.16%), and battery (6.45%). Among organic foreign bodies peanut was most common (33.33%), grains (10%). All foreign bodies were removed successfully with minimal morbidity and zero mortality.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Conclusions:</strong> Present study suggested incidence was very common among male children, in rural background, with common asymptomatic presentation. With high index of suspicion, and proper and timely intervention all 100 cases were managed successfully. But still educating the parents about keeping such things away from kids prevent these incident.</p>

<p>Ear, nose and throat practice presents the surgeons with an amazing variety of foreign bodies to deal with, some of them are truly unusual.They may be inert, hygrophilic or corrosive. Foreign body impaction in ear,nose and throat is among the medical-surgical emergencies of otorhinolaryngological practice. Some foreign bodies have been well documented among the objects that normally get impacted in ear,nose and throat.</p><p>Here we present  two unusual  cases that happened to be managed in our institution. First case was of a patient who came with an unusual foreign body lodged in the nose and nasopharynx and the second  case  was of a migrating foreign body in throat. The main aim and objective of these case reports is to highlight on unusual foreign bodies  and their management .These foreign bodies were never found to have been reported previously in our review of literature.</p>
