Abstract
- Foreign body (FB) airway obstruction is a life-threatening clinical situation. The FB's are removed by bronchoscopy in the majority of patients, but in highly-selected cases, tracheotomy is occasionally indicated in foreign body extraction, when they are subglottic in location and impacted, or large enough to get obstructed at the glottic chink during endoscopic removal. Authors report one case of tracheal FB which required tracheotomy for the FB removal after the failure of FB removal with rigid bronchoscopy.
