Foreign body removal - A LED Bulb
3yrs old baby with C/O Cough for 3days presented in Emergency room with breathlessness since last evening. CXR showed a metallic FB in the right chest.
was done with 5.5mm barrel which confirmed a metallic FB in the right main bronchus(RMB). However we were unable to pass it in the RMB to grasp the FB. Hence 5mm barrel was used to visualize the FB, but since we were not able to pass the FB forcep simultaneously with telescope, we removed the scope and introduced the forcep only to hold the FB under C-arm guidance which was gently extracted without any resistance.
No intraprocedural complication noted and baby was discharged in stable condition.

Beyond your vision... there is still some hope...

A 9 year old girl with history of some foreign body aspiration one month back.

Under TIVA (Total IV anesthesia), flexible video bronchoscopy was done via oral route which showed granulation tissue in the Right Middle Bronchus. FB forcep was tried but could not get anything blindly and hence we used C-arm to locate the FB body and retrieved it with toothed forcep under the C-arm guidance. It was Button cell battery.

(Had rigid scope for the back up if failed with the flexible scope)

Prefer Gulal which contains corn-starch blended with FDA approved dyes
Avoid colors with chemicals & heavy metals (as it causes respiratory complications)

If u have any COVID like symptoms or had so recently...
Then avoid vaccination for 3months or get ur COVID test done before vaccination.
As the vaccine will flare the infection.
It's my opinion only and rest is ur choice.
