Foreign body ingestion and aspiration in children has been a serious problem, occasionally resulting in airway obstruction and death. Airway obstruction by balloons and subsequent asphyxiation is well documented. Respiratory blockage by plastic dry-cleaning sacks has resulted in warning labels on most such materials. Two recent cases of nasal aspiration of plastic coating from a commonly used disposable diaper are compared to reports of similar occurrences documented by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. On the basis of these reports we recommend that disposable diapers be continuously covered by other clothing to prevent the child's access to the plastic. Otolaryngologists and pediatricians should be aware of the potential hazard when examining diapered children with chronic rhinorrhea or sudden respiratory distress.
儿童吞食和吸入异物一直是个严重问题，偶尔会导致气道阻塞甚至死亡。气球导致的气道阻塞及随后的窒息情况已有充分记录。塑料干洗袋造成的呼吸阻塞已促使大多数此类材料贴上警示标签。将最近两例儿童从常用一次性尿布中吸入塑料涂层至鼻腔的病例与美国消费品安全委员会记录的类似事件报告进行了比较。基于这些报告，我们建议一次性尿布应始终被其他衣物覆盖，以防止儿童接触到塑料。耳鼻喉科医生和儿科医生在检查患有慢性鼻漏或突发呼吸窘迫的使用尿布的儿童时，应意识到这种潜在危害。
