Abstract

BELLOCCHIO, Adelina  and  PIZA, Hernán. Disnea secundaria a oclusión subaguda de un bronquio fuente. Rev. am. med. respir. [online]. 2021, vol.21, n.3, pp.327-333. ISSN 1852-236X.

The presence of a foreign body in the airways is a diagnostic challenge, especially when the patient doesn’t show an asphyctic stage and is in a silent or slowly progressive clinical condition. But it is also a therapeutic challenge, given the fact that it is not common to have both rigid and flexible bronchoscopies in the same medical institution, or a variety of tools to grab the foreign body, mostly when the object is blunt and voluminous, so that in order to be extracted the physician must have skill, patience and imagination to solve the problem with the few resources usually available.

Keywords : Foreign body; Broncoaspiration; Fiberoptic bronchoscopy.
