Foreign bodies of the airways in children
Aspiration of foreign bodies into the airways accounts for 3-5% of all cases of acute respiratory distress and is thus a relatively frequent problem in pediatric hospitals. The presence of a foreign body in the airways often causes recurrent attacks of choking and secondary inflammatory changes in the lungs. In typical cases, diagnosis is not difficult. Important anamnestic findings are the child's parents' references to aspiration of an object by the child.
