Background: Many studies focusing on the effects of local anaesthetics on QT intervals have been performed, but the articles evaluating the relationship between thoracic epidural anaesthesia combined with general anaesthesia and QT parameters are very limited.
Aims: We aimed to compare the effects of bupivacaine and ropivacaine on QT interval, corrected QT, dispersion of QT, and corrected dispersion of QT in patients undergoing lung resection under thoracic epidural anaesthesia combined with general anaesthesia.
Study Design: Prospective clinical study.

Article Synopsis
- Foreign body aspiration is a serious emergency in children, exemplified by a 14-year-old boy who inhaled a piece of wood while attempting to prevent airway injury during a seizure.
- A bronchoscopic procedure successfully removed the foreign object, but the patient experienced complications like subcutaneous emphysema and pneumothorax afterward.
- Prompt diagnosis and removal are crucial for survival, yet potential complications from both the aspiration and the removal process can arise, highlighting the importance of the foreign body's characteristics and location in determining patient outcomes.
