Treatment of an Acute Respiratory Failure Child Caused by Special Airway Foreign Body
نویسنده
چکیده
Respiratory foreign body and subsequent inhalant injury in children is a severe emergent disease in otorhinolaryngology. Inhalation injury (usually referred to as “respiratory tract burn”) is mainly caused by aspiration of hot smog, gas, dust and chemical substances into the respiratory tract. The clinical occurrence of respiratory foreign body and inhalation injury in combination is characterized by multiple complications, intricate treatments and high mortality rate. As a clinically rare combination, its perioperative care is extremely difficult. This report is a summary of successful treatment of a case of lime aspiration into the respiratory tract of a child with concomitant inhalation injury admitted to our hospital on November 5th, 2007.
