Department of Pediatric Surgery, St. Johns Medical College and Hospital, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze the demographics and management of unusual airway foreign bodies (UAFBs) in children over a 20-year period.
- Out of 531 children who underwent bronchoscopic removal, 74 had UAFBs like pen caps, whistles, and glass bangles, with most cases involving children under 5 and presenting symptoms like cough and respiratory distress.
- The findings indicated that UAFBs in children are relatively common, primarily affecting boys, with the left bronchus being the most frequent site of impaction and bronchoscopic retrieval showing a favorable outcome despite some challenges.

Article Synopsis
- Head and neck extension during surgeries is important for visibility but can cause the tracheal tube to move, leading to potential complications, especially in patients with difficult airways.
- In a study involving 60 patients with limited mouth opening, researchers used a flexible bronchoscope to measure how much the nasotracheal tube moved at the vocal cords when the neck was extended.
- Results showed that while the tube moved slightly (3 mm) during neck extension, the primary reason for the increase in distance from the tube tip to the carina was elongation of the trachea (85%), not the tube's outward migration (15%).
Flexible Endoscopic Management of Tracheo-oesophageal Magnet Foreign Bodies with Acquired Fistula in a Toddler.

Aerodigestive foreign bodies (FBs) aspiration is a common problem in children; however, simultaneous aerodigestive localisation is rare. Ingestion of multiple magnetic FBs can lead to serious complications, especially tracheo-oesophageal fistula and recurrent chest infections. These depend on the duration of foreign-body ingestion/aspiration, prompt intervention and adequate technique for foreign-body retrieval.

Article Synopsis
- Flexible bronchoscopy in pediatric patients is a common diagnostic procedure, typically performed under general anesthesia, but this study explores the use of it while the child is awake, which is less documented.
- The research involved 11 pediatric patients, mostly male, with various reasons for the procedure, including foreign body suspicion and chronic cough, showing a moderate success rate of about 1.72 attempts before successful visualization of the airways.
- The study noted minimal complications, with only one patient experiencing gagging, and emphasized the potential of awake bronchoscopy as a viable option for assessing respiratory issues in children, while cautioning about the risks associated with anesthesia.

This study explored the clinical features of tracheobronchial foreign bodies (TFB) in children lacking both a foreign body aspiration history and bronchial cut-off signs on imaging. This study was conducted between 2011 and 2021, including 45 children without a choking history or tracheal interruption on CT scans. Common symptoms were cough and wheezing (91.

Article Synopsis
- Elderly people who inhale foreign objects into their airways often show unusual symptoms, making it hard for doctors to diagnose them correctly.
- In a study of older patients, most had common symptoms like cough and difficulty breathing, and many foreign objects were food items, especially in the left lung.
- The doctors achieved a high success rate (96.7%) in removing these objects with a bronchoscope, but some patients needed special techniques or more than one procedure for removal.
A Foreign Body Aspiration Leading to Pneumothorax: A Case of Airway Emergency.

Foreign body (FB) aspiration is a matter that should not be taken lightly. The presence of a foreign object might lead to hazardous complications, particularly in the pediatric population. These complications depend on the type and location of the aspirated object as the tracheobronchial tree has a very small diameter, and foreign bodies become stuck in the upper airways of children, causing stridor and sudden difficulty in breathing.

Article Synopsis
- * It was found that 80% of patients had a history of swallowing fish bones, with symptoms appearing between 26 to 151 days post-ingestion, and imaging showed that B-ultrasound had a higher detection rate than neck CT in many cases.
- * Surgical removal was successful in most patients; those with bones in the anterior neck underwent lateral cervical surgery, while those with bones in the retropharyngeal space were treated with a technique involving the posterior pharyngeal wall and transoral endoscopy.

Article Synopsis
- Button battery ingestions are a rising threat in children, often leading to severe health risks if ingested, especially through charged batteries that can cause symptoms quickly; discharged batteries can complicate diagnosis due to protracted symptoms.
- A case is presented of a 19-month-old girl with three months of respiratory and feeding issues, where initial examinations ruled out common infections and showed no signs of foreign body ingestion.
- Further investigation via bronchoscopy and esophagoscopy revealed a button battery lodged in her esophagus, which required a complex retrieval procedure due to its position and led to subsequent complications like esophageal stenosis.

Background: Foreign body aspiration into the trachea is a common occurrence in children. While most foreign bodies in the airways can be removed using rigid tracheoscopy, there are instances where tracheostomy or tracheotomy is needed. This article presents a series of cases in which tracheostomy was necessary to remove foreign bodies, and summarizes the relevant experiences and lessons learned.
