A 51-yr-old asthmatic carpenter aspirated a penny using a hand-held, self-pressurized aerosol device. The penny was extracted using a fiberoptic bronchoscope. Because no similar instances are reported in the medical literature, experimental systems were designed to test the likelihood of this event happening with a variety of nebulizers. Nickels , dimes , and pennies were tested for ejection potential and for aspiration likelihood. All inhalers, excepting that designed for Intal, were capable of accommodating dimes and pennies and ejecting them down simulated airways during inspiration. Nickels were accommodated by several inhalers but were not ejected during conventional inspiratory volumes and pressures.
一名51岁的哮喘木匠使用手持自加压气雾剂装置时误吸了一枚便士。通过纤维支气管镜取出了这枚便士。由于医学文献中未报道过类似病例，因此设计了实验系统来测试各种雾化器发生此类事件的可能性。对镍币、一角硬币和便士进行了喷射潜力和误吸可能性测试。除专为因他宁设计的吸入器外，所有吸入器都能容纳一角硬币和便士，并在吸气时将它们沿着模拟气道喷出。几种吸入器能容纳镍币，但在常规吸气量和压力下不会将其喷出。
