Fiberoptic Bronchoscopy for Removal of Endobronchial Foreign Bodies in Adults
|
|
|
|
|
Abstract
|
|
|
Foreign body aspiration occurs uncommonly in adults. A review of recent reports
reveals only a few case reports on this topic.
We have experienced 8 cases of endobronchial foreign bodies in adults from June 1988
to February 1991 which were removed successfully with fiberoptic bronchoscope and
biopsy forceps. Only one of them had the primary disorder predisposing aspiration.
Foreign bodies were located in right lower lobe (3 cases), right intermediate (2 cases),
left lower lobe (2 cases) and left upper lobe bronchus (1 cases). Removal of
endobronchial foreign bodies in adult would be accomplished by fiberoptic bronchoscopy
successfully.
