Abstract

Introduction: Foreign body inhalation (FB) is a medical-surgical emergency and a frequent cause of respiratory distress in children. Multidisciplinary management combining ENT surgeon and anesthetist-resuscitator. Rigid or flexible bronchoscopy under general anesthesia in total or inhaled intravenous allows the diagnosis and the extraction of the foreign body. The rarity and seriousness of the inhalations seem to us to justify their publication. We report the journey of a case of inhalation of a foreign body consisting of a 6 centimeter point, the extraction of which was only possible thanks to a bronchoscope associated with a Quick air. Observation: this is a child of three in a particular ATCD from 132 km from the capital for inhalation of a foreign body for several days, after passing through two health structures for extraction without success for lack of a specialist. The child is admitted to the CHU Ignace Deen. The clinical, radiographic examination of the thorax revealed a rectilinear opacity of approximately 6 cm next to the right main bronchus. The indication for extraction under general anesthesia was raised. The first attempt at D12 inhalation with a rigid bronchoscope ended in failure. The second attempt two weeks later under inhalation anesthesia with halothane using a rigid bronchoscope associated with Quick air enabled the successful extraction of a tip of approximately 6cm. The immediate evolution was simple. Conclusion: the anesthesia of the child for inhalation of foreign body is a real challenge for the anesthesiologist-resuscitator. The choice of induction technique can be intravenous or inhalation with preservation of spontaneous ventilation. The rigid bronchoscope associated with the Quick air allowed the extraction.
