Doctors at KIMS Hospitals, Visakhapatnam, have successfully removed a sharp metallic hook that had become lodged in the airway of a 22-month-old boy after he accidentally aspirated it while playing.
The child was brought to the hospital by his mother soon after the incident and a chest X-ray revealed a metallic foreign body in the lower airway. Considering the child’s age and the sharp nature of the object, the medical team decided to perform an emergency rigid bronchoscopy to prevent further complications.
