- Tracheobronchial foreign body aspiration (TFBA) is a serious and potentially life-threatening condition in children, prompting this study to explore various factors influencing its occurrence and outcomes in West China.
- A retrospective analysis of pediatric patients who underwent bronchoscopy for foreign body removal revealed that most cases involved children aged 1 to 3 years, with male patients outnumbering female patients, and common symptoms included cough, fever, and difficulty breathing.
- Key findings showed differences in guardianship and prehospital treatment delays between rural and urban areas, highlighting that both intrinsic (like age and anatomy) and external factors (like residence and species of foreign body) play crucial roles in the prognosis of TFBA.
