AIRWAY OBSTRUCTION IN CHILDREN.


ABSTRACT: Seventeen children presenting with airway obstruction have been studied to highlight the similar clinical features of different etiological conditions, their diagnostic limitations, and the importance of early bronchoscopy. There were 8 patients with foreign body in lower airway, out of which 6 were vegetable foreign bodies. Few rarer conditions like membranous laryngotracheobronchitis, subglottic hemangioma and acyanotic congenital heart disease producing airway obstruction have been highlighted. There were 2 deaths in the study unrelated to endoscopic procedure.
