Tracheobronchial Foreign Body Aspiration: Spontaneous Expectoration After Beta-2 Agonist Administration.

Tracheobronchial foreign body (TFB) aspiration in adults is uncommon but can be life-threatening, often due to differences in airway sizes and reflexes. Symptoms associated with TFB are typically choking episodes followed by cough and dyspnea, but sometimes it can lead to acute asphyxiation. Chest radiography and computed tomography can provide information about the foreign body, its characteristics, and its location, however, bronchoscopy remains the preferred method for diagnosis and removal. In this case report, we describe an instance of hijab pin aspiration where the patient expectorated the foreign body immediately following the administration of inhaled salbutamol.
