Oral Ambu-bag insufflation to remove unilateral nasal foreign bodies.
The nose is perhaps the most common site for the insertion of foreign bodies by children. Removal is essential. We report the successful use of the oral Ambu-bag insufflation technique to remove unilateral nasal foreign bodies in three children. Conscious sedation was not required. There were no complications.
