Real-time video-assisted retrieval of airway foreign body in very young pediatric patients.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Advancements in medical endoscopy and techniques of rigid bronchoscopy for foreign body removal have enabled higher diagnostic accuracy, reduced morbidity and precise manipulation. However, in pediatric patients, endoscope-combined forceps may be too big to fit into the small sized airway. Here we present our method of endoscope assisted rigid bronchoscopy in pediatric patients and compare the clinical benefits with conventional naked-eye rigid bronchoscopy.

Methods

We used a 2.7 mm, 0° straight endoscope and small caliber grasping forceps with 3.0 to 4.5 mm sized rigid bronchoscopy for very young (<3 years of age) patients of foreign body aspiration. As an assistant held the rigid bronchoscope in situ, the operator could manipulate the endoscope and forceps bimanually. With endoscopic guidance, the foreign body retrieval was performed carefully. The clinical advantages were compared between our endoscope-assisted method (n=29) and the conventional bronchoscopy method (n=33) in terms of operation time and recovery (hospital stay).

Results

Bimanual endoscope-assisted rigid bronchoscopy method was technically feasible and safe. The operation time was less, compared to the conventional technique and the patients recovered more quickly. In all cases, our method completely removed the foreign body without need of a second bronchoscopy procedure.

Conclusion

Bimanual endoscope-assisted retrieval of airway foreign body in very young age pediatric patients was superior to the conventional naked-eye method concerning accurate manipulation and safety.

C-MAC® video-laryngoscope assisted removal of pediatric upper airway foreign body via apneic technique: Two case reports.

Project description:C-MAC® video-laryngoscope is often used by anesthetists in difficult intubation scenarios primarily in adults. Using this C-MAC® device in two of our pediatric cases, we successfully removed the laryngeal foreign body, while the anesthetist provided the apneic technique. A systematic review of PubMed and Google Scholar for similar cases was conducted. We found only one such case report of pediatric airway foreign body removal via video-laryngoscope in the English literature. The use of this high-quality, magnified video-laryngoscope in children in an emergency scenario is often not adequately applied. This procedure provides continuous real-time visualization to both the operating surgeon as well as the anesthetist in respect to the airway and thereby reduces the chance of any untoward complications. Here, we present two interesting case reports of C-MAC® video-laryngoscope assisted removal of laryngeal foreign body via apneic technique with spontaneous ventilation performed on two different children in our facility. Both these children had clinical symptoms of upper airway obstruction with fluctuating stridor simulating croup or asthma.

Metalophagia: Splenic artery pseudoaneurysm after foreign body ingestion and retrieval.

Project description:Persistent eating of non-nutritive, nonfood substances (Pica) is seen in children and adult patients with psychiatric problems. Ingestion of multiple metallic FBs with resultant bezoar formation is rare. While many FBs are passed without complication, mucosal injury, bleeding, obstruction or perforation can occur in some cases. Endoscopic FB removal is performed in 20% of patients following FB ingestion. Generally, these are safe procedures, and very effective in extracting ingested FBs. We report, a 25-year-old male patient with a metal ingestion predominant Pica, requiring multiple prior extraction procedures (including open gastrostomy). He developed a splenic artery pseudoaneurysm following his latest endoscopic FB removal, that was successfully treated with transarterial coil embolization. The unique circumstances leading to this rare complication and its successful endovascular management make this case worthy of report.

Perfluorocarbon liquid-assisted intraocular foreign body removal.

Project description:We describe the benefits of perfluoro-N-octane (PFO), a perfluorocarbon liquid, in the removal of nonmagnetic intraocular foreign bodies (IOFBs) from the macula and posterior segment. Two consecutive cases of posterior segment IOFB were reviewed. An 18-year-old male presented to the emergency room after a motor vehicle accident with a zone 1 open globe injury and large glass IOFB in the left eye. A 53-year-old male presented to the emergency room with a history of a 3-week delayed presentation of a zone 1 open globe injury from a nail to the right eye. He was found to have a metallic IOFB. In both cases, PFO was used to slide the nonmagnetic IOFBs outside of the macula for safer retrieval. PFO was also able to protect the posterior pole from IOFB drops during early attempts at removal. PFO can be a useful surgical adjunct to pars plana vitrectomy in the removal of certain nonmagnetic IOFBs.

Endovascular retrieval of foreign body in persistent left-sided superior vena cava.

Project description:Endovascular retrieval of a foreign body is becoming an increasingly common procedure in the management of complications resulting from more frequent endovascular procedures. Many procedures are performed on a regular basis in assessment of vascular anatomy, endovascular-guided therapy, and catheter placement. This case report depicts a complication of a chemoport placement resulting in a foreign body. Evaluation of the foreign body raised attention to aberrant anatomy, a persistent left-sided superior vena cava. We further discuss briefly the embryology behind a persistent left-sided superior vena cava, technical errors leading to the foreign body, and assessing the nature of the foreign body through different imaging modalities. This is followed by the subsequent endovascular retrieval by Interventional Radiology and a literature review and individual case assessment of endovascular foreign body retrieval. We discuss considerations for practice based upon our literature review.

Eustachian Tube Foreign Body with Endoscopic-Assisted Surgical Removal.

Project description:Objectives:Foreign bodies of the external and middle ear are not uncommon; however, foreign bodies in the eustachian tube are rare. Here we describe the presentation, imaging, and endoscopic-assisted surgical management of a case of eustachian tube foreign body. Methods:A 34-year-old male was seen for evaluation of foreign body of the left eustachian tube while working with metal at a machine shop. Imaging and surgical management are highlighted and review of available literature regarding foreign bodies of the eustachian tube is presented. Results:A CT scan revealed a foreign body present approximately 1?cm into the bony eustachian tube. The patient underwent middle ear exploration which required endoscopic assistance to adequately visualize the foreign body. The foreign body was unable to be removed and required the creation of a bony tunnel lateral to the eustachian tube for visualization and access to the foreign body. Conclusions:This report presents a rare case of eustachian tube foreign body. Use of the endoscope during the surgical removal greatly enhanced the ease and safety of removal. This report also highlights the importance of ear protection with any machining and welding work.

Laparoscopic retrieval of a foreign body (broken surgical knife) from retroperitoneal space: An interesting case.

Project description:We present a rare and interesting case, of a retrieval of a broken surgical knife blade, from the retroperitoneal space, through laparoscopic approach by a gynecology endoscopist. A 40-year-oId man underwent open lumbar discectomy surgery, when the surgical knife blade inadvertently broke, and was retained in the disc space. The broken blade could not be removed during the initial surgery. A second attempt was made to retrieve it; however, it migrated further anteriorly into the retroperitoneal space. Subsequently, a gynecology endoscopist was called in, who successfully retrieved the broken blade from the retroperitoneal space through laparoscopic approach. A four-port laparoscopic transperitoneal approach was performed. The broken fragment of the knife was found just medial to the left common iliac artery in the retroperitoneal space, which was removed. Operation time was 40 minutes and the postoperative course was uneventful.
