According to Hai Duong Lung Hospital (Hai Phong City), the hospital's Internal Medicine Department 3 has just successfully removed a foreign object in the airway for patient Nguyen Thi Cac, 81 years old, who was hospitalized with a long-term cough.
Through clinical examination combined with modern diagnostic imaging techniques such as multi-line CT scanning and bronchoscopy, doctors discovered a foreign object in the bronchi. This is the cause of persistent cough in patients. Previously, the patient had gone to many medical facilities for examination but had not discovered the foreign object.
Thanks to solid expertise and a modern endoscopic equipment system, the team of the Department of Internal Medicine 3 quickly removed the foreign object, helping the patient stabilize health and recover well.
According to doctors, bronchial endoscopy is a less invasive method, highly valuable in diagnosing and treating respiratory diseases, especially the detection of bronchial foreign bodies, in cases where it is difficult to diagnose with conventional imaging methods.
The hospital recommends that when there are unusual symptoms of respiratory failure, people should go to a specialized medical facility for timely advice and treatment.
