Accidental Spectacle Handle Aspiration During Tracheostomy Care: A Case of Successful Bronchoscopic Retrieval.

ABSTRACT: Foreign body aspiration in tracheostomized patients is preventable. This novel case highlights the aspiration of a spectacle handle during stoma care-an unreported hazard from repurposing nonmedical tools. Proactive education on sterile techniques and avoiding household items is critical. Flexible bronchoscopy proved effective despite altered anatomy postlaryngectomy.
