The risk of leaving an iatrogenic foreign body in the bronchus, while using a reusable flexible suction catheter tube during rigid bronchoscopy is reported. A 6-year-old girl underwent rigid bronchoscopy to rule out foreign body inhalation as the possible cause of her unilateral pneumonia and lung collapse. While performing the bronchoscopy the distal end of the plastic suction tube was caught in the ventilation hole of the bronchoscope and was sheared from the main suction tube. This was later recovered from the right main bronchus while clearing the thick secretions. This potential complication occurs with use of reusable plastic suction catheters.
据报道，在硬质支气管镜检查期间使用可重复使用的柔性吸引导管时，有在支气管内遗留医源性异物的风险。一名6岁女孩接受了硬质支气管镜检查，以排除异物吸入作为其单侧肺炎和肺萎陷的可能原因。在进行支气管镜检查时，塑料吸引管的远端卡在了支气管镜的通气孔中，并从主吸引管上被剪断。后来在清除浓稠分泌物时，从右主支气管中找到了该剪断部分。使用可重复使用的塑料吸引导管会出现这种潜在并发症。
