| description | Foreign body (FB) ingestion among children is one of the most common presenting
complaint to Emergency Department. Oropharyngeal foreign body are the least
common, 5-10% in all FB ingestion. However, it carries significant mortality and
morbidity following complications which may arise from it. Airway obstruction
is one of the complications which may present after FB ingestion. Due to the
significant differences in airway anatomy and physiology of children, management of an obstructed pediatric airway is challenging. It requires proper skill and
experience to prevent further fatal complications. Proper assessment and airway
evaluation are crucial before proceeding with endotracheal intubation. Surgical
airway is only reserved in ‘Cannot Ventilate Cannot Intubate’ situation where it
should be done by a skilled person, as it carries risk of injury to underlying vital
structures. |
