[Therapeutic problems of pediatric tracheobronchial foreign bodies].
The report is based on 251 extractions of tracheo-bronchial foreign bodies performed since 1968. Bronchoscopy for foreign bodies, particularly chronic ones, is a high risk procedure in small children and even more in infants and should be limited to a skilled bronchologist. Progress in paediatric anaesthesiology and paediatric intensive care as well as bronchological devices designed specially for children facilitate the task. Technique of extraction, monitoring and pre- and postoperative management are described in detail. A recently developed method for the extraction of crumbly material, particularly peanuts, without forceps is presented.
