Study of anaesthetic management of foreign bodies in airway
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Anesthesiology - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Background: Sharing of airway by both anaesthesiologist and surgeon poses difficulty in ventilation. Associated oedema and inflammatory changes in tracheobronchial tree predispose these patients to severe bronchospasm. Aim: To study the anaesthetic management of various foreign bodies obstructing the airways. Material and Methods: A retrospective study consisting of 57 cases with the data made available from medical records of all children posted for rigid bronchoscopy for suspected FB aspiration in a tertiary care centre between June 2014 to December 2016. Results: 77.19% patients were between the age of 9 months to 4years and 22.81% patients were above the age of four years. 70.17% patients were male and 29.83% patients were female.
