The results of a prospective study of 94 patients with history of ear, nose or aerodigestive tract foreign bodies were analysed. Sixty six to 94% of patients presented within 24 hours to a primary care doctor, 80 to 94% was referred to the ENT Department within 24 hours and 89 to 93% of patients had their foreign bodies removed within 24 hours. Overall, 58% of aural foreign bodies, 67% nasal foreign bodies and 94% of aerodigestive tract foreign bodies were removed within 48 hours of insertion. As a result of the prompt removal of foreign bodies in the majority of patients, no significant complications occurred. Foreign bodies in the aerodigestive tract tend to present earlier and more promptly removed compared with ear and nose foreign bodies. There was a significantly higher proportion of foreign body in the right ear and nostril compared to the left.
对94例有耳、鼻或气消化道异物史的患者进行了一项前瞻性研究，并对结果进行了分析。66%至94%的患者在24小时内就诊于初级保健医生，80%至94%的患者在24小时内被转诊至耳鼻喉科，89%至93%的患者在24小时内取出了异物。总体而言，58%的耳部异物、67%的鼻部异物和94%的气消化道异物在插入后48小时内被取出。由于大多数患者的异物被及时取出，未发生明显并发症。与耳和鼻异物相比，气消化道异物往往出现得更早，且取出得更及时。与左耳和左鼻孔相比，右耳和右鼻孔的异物比例明显更高。
