Brief summary

Outcome of Bronchoscopy in Pediatric patient with foreign body aspiration

Interventions

PROCEDURERigid bronchoscopy

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.

PROCEDUREFlexible scope

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

PROCEDURECombined Flexible-Rigid Bronchoscopy

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

PROCEDUREImaging-Guided Bronchoscopy

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.

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame	Description
Rate of Successful Foreign Body Removal	During bronchoscopy procedure (intra-operative, within 24 hours of intervention).	The proportion of patients in whom the foreign body is completely removed during the initial bronchoscopy procedure, as confirmed by direct visualization and/or post-procedure imaging.

Secondary

Measure	Time frame	Description
Incidence of procedure-related complications (within 24 hours).	Intra-procedure and up to 24 hours post-procedure.	Number of patients who experience complications such as hypoxia (SpO₂ \< 90%), bleeding, airway trauma, pneumothorax, or cardiac arrhythmia.
