Sažetak
The author already published his experiences on 214 flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FFB) in children, performed from 1999. to 2005. at Pediatric Clinic of University Hospital Split (Pavlov N, Eur Respir J, Vol. 26. Suppl 49. September 2005: 628). Further analysis of 180 FFB performed in period from 2006. to 2010. at Pediatric Clinic revealed that foreign bodies were diagnosed and successfully extracted using fiberbronchoscope (Fujinon YP-2, outer diameter 4.8 mm) in 7 cases: twice from trachea (bone particle and peanut) and 5 times from bronchi (peanuts). FFB were performed under deep sedation (Fentanyl, Midazolam), the procedure taking place in Pediatric intensive care unit (PICU), with pediatric intensivist on site. Foreign bodies were successfully extracted by basket and forceps for foreign body extraction. General rule is that aspirated airway foreign bodies in children are to be extracted by means of rigid bronchoscopy (RB). We wanted to address the issues a bronchoscopist faces when an airway foreign body is found during FFB, as well as an opportunity for foreign body to be extracted by means of FFB. By doing so a child is being spared of the risk of additional anesthesia as well as RB, a procedure more invasive than FFB.
