Acute cement dust poisoning: Rigid bronchoscopy and mechanical insufflation-exsufflation as an effective and novel treatment for its management.

This clinical case shows the repercussions of acute exposure to cement dust in the respiratory tract and other mucous membranes. Following a cement dust pipe explosion, the patient endured a severe inhalation of dust. A combination of rigid bronchoscopy and a mechanical insufflation-exsufflation system was employed to remove cement debris from the airways.
