Foreign bodies in the airways can cause significant morbidity and mortality. If emergency personnel are unable to clear an airway obstruction frequently results in cardiac arrest.
A 78-year-old man developed a persistent cough and dyspnoea after consuming alcohol. Fiberoptic bronchoscopy was performed, revealing complete blockage of the main airways on both sides by fish.
Endotracheal foreign body.
The foreign body was removed with an endotracheal tube under the guidance of a fiberoptic bronchoscope.
The airway foreign body had been successfully removed and the man recovered uneventfully.
When repeated attempts to extract airway foreign bodies under the guidance of bronchoscopy have failed, endotracheal intubation can be considered as a viable alternative in emergency situations.
气道异物可导致严重的发病和死亡。如果急救人员无法清除气道阻塞,常导致心脏骤停。
一名78岁男性在饮酒后出现持续咳嗽和呼吸困难。进行了纤维支气管镜检查,发现双侧主气道被鱼完全阻塞。
气管内异物。
在纤维支气管镜引导下用气管导管取出异物。
气道异物已成功取出,该男子顺利康复。
当在支气管镜引导下反复尝试取出气道异物失败时,在紧急情况下可考虑气管插管作为一种可行的替代方法。
