Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on bronchial foreign body aspiration in children, highlighting its potential seriousness and the often delayed diagnosis.
- Researchers analyzed data from 100 pediatric patients who underwent bronchoscopy after suspected FB aspiration, aiming to find reliable clinical indicators for the procedure.
- The key finding was that a history of choking had the highest sensitivity for requiring bronchoscopy (97%), suggesting it should be performed in such cases even if radiologic results are normal or symptoms are mild.
