[Diagnosis and treatment of bilateral bronchial foreign body in children]
Objective:
To discuss the clinical characteristics of bilateral bronchial foreign body in children, increase the curative rate and reduce the complications.
Method:
The clinical data of 35 cases with bilateral bronchial foreign body in children were retrospectively analysed, including surgery, key surgery points, and postoperative combined therapy.
Result:
The foreign bodies of all cases were removed under intravenous general and tropical anesthesia without complications.
Conclusion:
The bilateral bronchial foreign body is a serious case, the timely and effective treatment can lower the mortality rate and postoperative complications. The children lack of oxygen for a long time before and in operation should be give comprehensive therapy, for example: sedation and hyperbaric oxygen.

Bronchoscopy
Description
Bronchoscopy is a procedure that involves direct visualization of the larynx, trachea, and bronchi for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. A flexible fiber optic or rigid bronchoscope is used to carry out the procedure. The fiber-optic bronchoscope is more frequently used due...
