High-frequency jet ventilation combined with endobronchial blocker for extraction of tracheal foreign body: a case report.

ABSTRACT:

Background

A foreign body (FB) in the airway is a potentially life-threatening clinical condition requiring prompt medical intervention. Due to the diverse nature of airway foreign bodies, distinct strategies should be tailored based on their types. Improper management may not only prevent successful removal but also endanger the patient's life. In this case, we successfully removed a tracheal FB using high-frequency jet ventilation (HFJV) combined with an endobronchial blocker, thus providing clinicians with a novel approach for airway FB extraction.

Case presentation

We present the case of an 8-year-old girl admitted to the emergency room following accidental foreign body aspiration, accompanied by coughing and chest pain. Flexible bronchoscopy revealed a round foreign bod
