On November 15, Quang Tri General Hospital said that the unit had just received baby N.Q.T.D (3 years old, residing in Cua Viet commune, Quang Tri province) in a state of severe coughing and coughing. The filming results showed a metal foreign object about 22mm long lying in the corner of the carina - the location where the tracheal gland splits in half, threatening to clog the airway.
Immediately, the hospital held an interdisciplinary consultation and decided to conduct an emergency bronchial endoscopy.
The foreign object was discovered with a sharp end stuck in the lower third of the trachea, the other end was located in the left original bronchium and was determined to be very dangerous. After 15 minutes of emergency operation, the foreign object was safely removed.
The boy's symptoms improved immediately after the intervention and he was discharged after 48 hours of monitoring.
According to the patient's family, while making teeth, the marrow needle suddenly fell from the mouth of the child into the airway. This is a rare case but can cause very serious consequences such as lung failure, pneumonia, collapsed lung, emphysema or death if not treated promptly.
