Outcome of Bronchoscopy in FB Aspiration

Participants will undergo rigid bronchoscopy under general anesthesia using an age-appropriate rigid bronchoscope. The airway will be systematically inspected. Any identified foreign body will be removed using appropriate retrieval devices (optical forceps, retrieval basket, suction). Post-removal, the airway will be re-examined to confirm clearance and detect trauma.

Participants will undergo flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopy under sedation or general anesthesia. The bronchoscope will be inserted transorally or transnasally. The airway will be inspected, and foreign body retrieval attempted using retrieval baskets, forceps, or cryoprobe

Initial flexible bronchoscopy will be performed to locate the foreign body and inspect distal airways, followed by rigid bronchoscopy for definitive removal.

Participants will undergo pre-procedure high-resolution CT or virtual bronchoscopy. Based on imaging, either rigid or flexible bronchoscopy will be performed, targeting the suspected location to reduce procedure time.
