Anaesthetic Management During Removal of Airway Foreign Body in Children: A Prospective Observational Study

Aspiration of foreign body (FB) is a life threatening situation in children. Prompt and early foreign body (FB) removal by rigid bronchoscopy under general anaesthesia is essential for reducing the complications and mortality. This study was conducted to observe the preoperative presentation, anaesthetic management and post-procedure morbidity and outcomes of children undergoing rigid bronchoscopic removal of inhaled foreign bodies under general anaesthesia.
