Patients With Near Arrest Induced by Foreign Body Airway Obstructions Treated by a Physician-Staffed Helicopter. | LitMetric

Acute airway obstruction, whether partial or complete, requires immediate intervention to prevent fatal outcomes. An 81-year-old man with a history of pneumonia experienced respiratory distress after attempting to swallow a large piece of meat. Despite attempts by his daughter, back blows and abdominal thrusts failed to dislodge the obstruction, and he collapsed, prompting an emergency call. Upon the arrival of the emergency medical team, the patient was conscious with good oxygen saturation but deteriorated during transport, becoming unresponsive and unable to cough. Upon assessment by the doctor helicopter team, the patient's condition was critical with low oxygen saturation and unstable vital signs. Using a laryngoscope, the team identified a large meat fragment near the vocal cords and successfully removed it, relieving the obstruction. The patient's respiratory distress improved, and he was transported to the hospital without the need for intubation. Further examination at the hospital revealed sinus tachycardia and lung abnormalities on a computed tomography scan but no significant abnormalities in blood tests. The patient was admitted for observation and received antibiotics for prophylaxis. He recovered well, with no further need for oxygen by the second day and was discharged on the fourth day, highlighting the importance of prompt intervention in airway emergencies.
