Abstract

Objective: History and chest x-ray are the main diagnostic tools in children with foreign body aspiration (FBA). The study aims to evaluate clinical, radiological, and bronchoscopic findings associated with early and delayed diagnosis of FBA. Methods: The records of 249 children having bronchoscopy for suspected FBA were analyzed in three groups as negative bronchoscopy for FBA (group I), early diagnosis (group II), and delayed diagnosis (group III). Results: Choking episodes, coughing, and decreased breath sounds were determined significantly in FBA. The percentage of radiopaque FBs was 6.2%. Emphysema in groups II and III; atelectasis and pneumonia in group III were significantly higher on chest x-ray. Pneumonia and significant inflammation found during bronchoscopy were prominent in group III. FBs were mostly vegetable origin and the majority were found in the bronchus, more on the right side. FBs were successfully removed by rigid bronchoscopy except one having thoracotomy. Conclusion: Review of the literature, our current (2010-2019) and previous (1994-2003) studies designed in the same group structure showed that choking episode associated with a radiopaque FB leads to bronchoscopy. Emphysema and atelectasis are also valuable for early diagnosis. Regardless of radiological findings, bronchoscopy should be considered in patients with a strong history.

Özet

Amaç: Öykü ve akciğer grafisi, yabancı cisim aspirasyonu (YCA) olan çocuklarda temel tanı araçlarıdır. Çalışma erken ve gecikmiş YCA tanısı ile ilişkili klinik, radyolojik ve bronkoskopik bulguları değerlendirmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Yöntem: YCA şüphesi nedeniyle bronkoskopi yapılan 249 çocuğun kayıtları, YCA için negatif bronkoskopi (grup I), erken tanı (grup II) ve gecikmiş tanı (grup III) olmak üzere üç grupta incelendi. Bulgular: YCA’da boğulma atakları, öksürük ve solunum seslerinde azalma anlamlı olarak belirlendi. Radyoopak YC’lerin yüzdesi % 6.2 idi. Grup II ve III’te amfizem; Grup III’te atelektazi ve pnömoni akciğer grafisinde anlamlı derecede yüksekti. Bronkoskopi sırasında saptanan pnömoni ve belirgin inflamasyon Grup III’te belirgindi. YC’ler çoğunlukla bitkisel kökenlidir ve çoğunluğu bronşta, daha çok sağ tarafta bulunmuştur. YC’ler, torakotomi olan biri dışında rijit bronkoskopi ile başarıyla çıkarıldı. Sonuç: Literatür taraması, aynı grup yapısında tasarlanan mevcut (2010-2019) ve önceki (1994-2003) çalışmalarımız radyoopak YC ile ilişkili boğulma epizotunun bronkoskopiye yol açtığını göstermiştir. Anfizem ve atelektazi de erken teşhis için değerlidir. Radyolojik bulgulardan bağımsız olarak, güçlü öyküsü olan hastalarda bronkoskopi düşünülmelidir.
