title: [Use of Hopkins rod-lens coupled with grasping forceps sheaths for extraction of tracheobronchial foreign bodies].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study the clinical application of Hopkins rod-lens coupled with gasping forceps sheaths in the extraction of tracheobronchial foreign bodies.
  
  
  METHODS
  Sixty-two patients with tracheobronchial foreign bodies were operated on with Hopkins rod-lens coupled with grasping forceps sheaths under direct telescopic view or TV watching. High frequency jet ventilation was used and BPs ECGs SaO2 were monitored in all cases.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Sixty-two patients were all successfully operated on. The extraction was primarily successful in 90% of the cases; and secondarily successful in 7% of the cases. No death and serious complication occurred.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Compared with conventional bronchoscopic foreign body extraction, this new instrument and technique make it possible for the operator to clamp and extract foreign body under direct telescopic view or TV watching. It has increased the accuracy and safety of bronchoscopic extraction of tracheobronchial foreign bodies.
