Background: Foreign body aspiration is common in children (80% in children under 5 years old) and elderly. The ratio in men is higher than in women. Flexible bronchoscopy is often used as a primary procedure in such cases because of its high sensitivity and specificity. However, in some cases, rigid bronchoscopy might be superior. This is a case report about a patient who came with complaints of bloody cough and chest pain after the ingestion of a push-pin nail. The patient underwent both bronchoscopic procedures. Case: A 13-year-old male presented with complaints of sudden bloody coughing accompanied by chest pain in the middle area. Physical examinations were unremarkable, but images of spikes suggestive of a foreign object on the left hilus were found at the chest x-ray. A flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopy was performed immediately. A push-pin nail, located the left main bronchus with a sharp tip embedded in the mucosa and covered by granulation tissue, was identified. Evacuation attempts were unsuccessful. Rigid bronchoscopy was then performed and evacuation was carried out successfully. The patient was then discharged after forty-eight hours of close monitoring. Conclusion: There are two types of bronchoscopy, flexible and rigid. Both have their respective advantages in the handling of patients with foreign bodies. Acquiring skills in operating both types of bronchoscopy are important for a bronchologist.

Foreign body aspiration in children is a common condition and can bring about serious undesired results. Fast and accurate diagnosis and foreign body extraction from airways are essential. We performed a retrospective study on rigid bronchoscopy outcomes due to suspected foreign body aspiration. A total of 66 children were admitted to the Chair and Department of Pediatric Otolaryngology, Phoniatrics and Audiology, Medical University of Lublin between 2015 and 2020 and underwent rigid bronchoscopy in general anesthesia due to suspected foreign body aspiration. We analyzed the data, including patients age and sex, reported complaints, and bronchoscopy findings. Analyzed children were aged from 8 months to 17 years old; 74.24% of them were under 3 years old during the procedure, and most of the operated patients were males. In 36.36% cases, no foreign body was identified, and 57.14% foreign bodies were located in right main bronchus. A total of 80.95% of foreign bodies extracted from airways were organic, mostly nuts. Diagnosis and treatment of suspected foreign body aspiration requires consistent cooperation between pediatricians, pulmonologists, anesthesiologists, and otolaryngologists.

Abstrak Aspirasi benda asing bronkus adalah masalah yang sering  pada anak-anak dan merupakan masalah seriusserta bisa berakibat fatal. Sebagian besar aspirasi benda asing di bronkus pada anak-anak karena kecenderunganmemasukkan sesuatu ke mulut, pertumbuhan gigi molar yang belum lengkap, kurangnya pengawasan dari orang tuadan lain-lain. Aspirasi jarum pentul di bronkus biasanya terjadi pada wanita remaja muslim yang menggunakan jilbab.Benda asing tajam di bronkus harus segera dikeluarkan dalam kondisi dan peralatan optimal untuk mencegahkomplikasi yang timbul. Komplikasi akibat aspirasi benda asing tajam yang paling sering berupa perforasi jalan nafas,trakeitis, bronkitis, jaringan granulasi, efusi pleura dan atelektasis. Tindakan bronkoskopi merupakan pilihan untukekstraksi benda asing tajam yang teraspirasi. Dilaporkan dua kasus aspirasi benda asing tajam di bronkus yaitu padaseorang anak laki-laki, berusia 6 tahun dengan aspirasi paku dengan komplikasi atelektasis paru dan seorang anakperempuan, berusia 14 tahun dengan aspirasi jarum pentul tanpa komplikasi yang telah berhasil diekstraksimenggunakan bronkoskopi kaku.Kata kunci: benda asing tajam di bronkus, aspirasi paku, aspirasi jarum pentul, atelektasis, bronkoskopi kaku  Abstract Bronchial foreign body aspiration is a common problem in children and it is a serious problem that can befatal. Most of bronchial foreign body aspiration occur in children because of the tendency to put something into themouth, the molar growth is not yet complete, the lack of supervision from parents and others situation . Aspiration of apin in the bronchi usually occurs in adolescent Muslim women who wear headscarf. Sharp foreign bodies in thebronchi must be removed immediately and the optimal equipment to prevent complications. Complications due tosharp foreign bodies aspiration most often in the form of perforation, tracheitis, bronchitis, granulation tissue, pleuraleffusion and atelectasis.

Airway foreign bodies are a leading cause of death among children and require urgent recognition by medical personnel. While most cases are diagnosed readily from a clinical history of acute respiratory distress, some cases remain more indolent and present later. We report the case of a 7-year-old boy who aspirated a “LEGO” toy and presented with a week history of increasing respiratory distress compatible with known asthma. Despite a normal chest X-ray, a low-dose computed tomography showed the presence of a foreign body in the left main bronchus, which was subsequently removed by fiberoptic bronchoscopy. Our case serves to reemphasize the importance of considering airway foreign bodies as a cause of respiratory distress, especially in young children.

Background. Most of foreign body aspiration cases are found in children under the age of fifteen. Pediatric patients often presents with non-food foreign body aspiration, such as toys. The most common clinical manifestation are history of choking following foreign object insertion into the mouth (85%), paroxysmal cough (59%), wheezing (57%) and airway obstruction (5%). Case presentation. Main principle of airway foreign body extraction is to do it immediately in the most optimal condition with slightest possible trauma. Rigid bronchoscopy is a suitable choice for tracheal foreign body extraction. We reported a case of seven years old male with tracheal foreign body presented with history of whistle ingestion five hours prior to admission. This patient was discharged from hospital after third days of rigid bronchoscopy procedure. Conclusion. History of foreign body aspiration in children should be suspected as a tracheobronchial foreign body. Rigid bronchoscopy is preferred to extract foreign bodies present in the trachea. The prognosis for tracheobronchial foreign body aspiration is good if the foreign body is treated early and without complications.

Massive hemoptysis can be a life threatening condition and needs urgent treatment in lung cancer. In the fiberoptic bronchoscopy of a fifty-two-year-old who was admitted with hemoptysis, left upper lobe upper division orifice was seen totally obstructed with a submucosal infiltration. One hour after the mucosal biopsies, massive hemoptysis occurred. Urgent rigid bronchoscopy was performed. The left main bronchus was occluded by sterile gauze. After cleaning of the coagulum patient was intubated and charged to intensive care unit. The next day, rigid bronchoscopy was repeated and the bleeding was observed to continue from the left upper lobe. Removing the gauze, 14 × 10 × 10 mm silicon Y stent was inserted in the left main bronchus after adjustments were made. Bleeding was stopped after insertion of the stent and patient could be extubated. In this case a successful control of hemoptysis was sustained after insertion of a customized silicon stent was presented.

Background Foreign body aspiration refers to the inhalation of an object into the respiratory system and is a serious and potentially fatal event. A distinct group of patients has recently been recognized among Muslim nations. These patients include women who wear headscarves and place the safety pin in their mouth prior to securing the veils, leading to accidental foreign body aspiration. The aim of this study was to analyze the main presentation, diagnosis, treatment, and outcome of patients with scarf pin aspiration. Methods This prospective study involved patients with a history of scarf pin aspiration admitted to a single center during an 18-month period. Their main presentation, diagnosis, treatment, and outcome were analyzed. Results In total, 27 patients were included. The needle was extracted by flexible bronchoscopy in 12 (44.4%) patients, rigid bronchoscopy in 13 (48.1%), and thoracotomy in 2 (74%). One patient died during rigid bronchoscopy. All remaining 26 patients were satisfied with the postsurgical outcome at a mean follow-up of 1 week. Conclusions Scarf pin aspiration differs from other types of foreign body aspiration considering the specific population affected, and its management algorithm may thus differ from that of other foreign bodies. The left main bronchus is the most common site of pin impaction. Rigid bronchoscopy is the most commonly performed procedure for successful retrieval.

Introduction. Foreign body aspiration into tracheobronchial tree represents an urgent condition at high level of risk. Etiology is different, and this condition is typical for all ages with highest incidence in pediatric population. Case report. A successful foreign body removal (partial denture) in a 34-year old man was presented. Radiography and computerized tomography of the chest showed a foreign body localized at the level of the right bronchus including the right middle lobe bronchus. By the use of rigid bronchoscopy, a foreign body was visualized and mobilized from the segmental bronchus in the first act, and then completely extracted. Conclusion. Efficient diagnostics and extraction are imperative for the aspirated foreign body preventing life-threatening complications.

Introduction. Foreign body aspiration into the respiratory tract remains a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge in clinical practice, especially in young children, who are the most frequently affected age group. The aim of this study was to present the results of treating the patients with foreign body aspiration in all age groups. Material and Methods. The medical and radiological records of 64 patients with confirmed foreign body out of 146 patients with suspected foreign body aspiration were retrospectively analyzed during the period of 13 years (from 2001 to 2013). Results. A foreign body was found in 64 (44%) of the 146 patients of all age groups with suspected foreign body aspiration. The patients? age ranged between 11 months and 80 years. There were 84% children and 16% adults, and 63% of patients were male. Time between the moment of aspiration and admission to the Department ranged between 0.5 hours and 14 days, with majority of patients (70%) being admitted during the first 24 hour. History of respiratory drama was present in 92% of patients. Physical and radiological findings were positive in 66% and 47% of patients, rescpectively. Organic vegetable foreign bodies accounted for 75% of all cases, and they were most frequently found in the right main bronchus (63%). All foreign bodies were successfully extracted by rigid bronchoscopy, without serious complications and fatal outcomes. Conclusion. Bronchoscopy should be performed in any case of suspected foreign body aspiration, even if clinical and radiological findings are normal, in order to avoid serious and possible life-threatening complications. More should be done to raise awareness of this potentially preventable condition.

Foreign body (FB) aspiration into the tracheobronchial tree is an emergency in the pediatric department, particularly in children aged <3 years. FB granulation tissue is commonly found in children with FB aspiration. However, scarring in the bronchus caused by a FB is rare. We herein report a case involving aspiration of a plastic whistle toy with scarring in the bronchus. The scar tissue was successfully removed by interventional bronchoscopy combined with a flexible electrosurgery probe and carbon dioxide cryotherapy.
