Rarely we encountered massive intra-pulmonary hemorrhage in clinical practice, which is always considered a life-threatening condition. In this case report we will discuss its management with removing blood clots using a rigid bronchoscope. Moreover, we also discuss about innovation, using a flexible fibre-optic bronchoscope through the rigid bronchoscope and removing a huge blood clot from terminal bronchioles.

Background: Foreign body aspiration is a critical surgical emergency among pediatric patients, carrying a substantial risk of mortality and contributing significantly to respiratory distress in children. Timely intervention by experts is crucial to mitigating cumulative morbidity. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of bronchotomy as a secure alternative following unsuccessful attempts at bronchoscopic foreign body retrieval.

Object: This study aims to analyze the clinical characteristics of children with tracheobronchial foreign body and to investigate the factors influencing the surgical duration of rigid bronchoscopic foreign body removal under general anesthesia.

Methods: We retrospectively identified 421 children diagnosed with tracheobronchial foreign body undergoing rigid bronchoscopy between January 2020 and December 2021. A comprehensive analysis was conducted on patient demographics, including age, weight, gender, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status classification, foreign body type and location, duration of foreign body retention, preoperative symptoms, signs, imaging findings, tracheobronchial manifestations observed during bronchoscopy, and surgical durations.
