Extraction Of Soft Friable Foreign Bodies From The Tracheobronchial TreeCategory: MECHANICAL PROBLEMS OF BRONCHOSCOPIC FOREIGN BODY EXTRACTION Source: A Manual Of Peroral Endoscopy And Laryngeal Surgery The difficulties here consist in the liability of crushing or fragmenting the object, and scattering portions into minute bronchi, as well as the problem of disimpaction from a ring of annular edema, with little or no forceps space. There is usually in these cases an abundance of purulent secretion which further hinders the work. The great danger of pushing the foreign body downward so that the swollen mucosa hides it completely from view, must always be kept in mind. Extremely delicate forceps with rather broad blades are required for this work. The fenestrated peanut forceps are best for large pieces in the large bronchi. The operator should develop his tactile sense with forceps by repeated practice in order to acquire the skill to grasp peanut kernels sufficiently firmly to hold them during withdrawal, yet not so firmly as to crush them. Nipping off an edge by not inserting the forceps far enough is also to be avoided. Small fragments under 2 mm. in diameter may be expelled with the secretions and fragments may be found on the sponges and in the secretions aspirated or removed by sponge pumping. It is, however, never justifiable deliberately to break a friable foreign body with the hope that the fragments will be expelled, for these may be aspirated into small bronchi, and cause multiple abscesses. A hook may be found useful in dealing with round, friable, foreign bodies; and in some cases the mechanical spoon or safety-pin closer may be used to advantage. The foreign body is then brought close to, but not crushed against the tube mouth. [174] Removal of animal objects from the tracheobronchial tree is readily accomplished with the side-curved forceps. Leeches are not uncommon intruders in European countries. Small insects are usually coughed out. Worms and larvae may be found. Cocaine or salt solution will cause a leech to loosen its hold. Foreign bodies in the upper-lobe bronchi are fortunately not common. If the object is not too far out to the periphery it may be grasped by the upper-lobe-bronchus forceps (Fig. 90), guided by the collaboration of the fluoroscopist. These forceps are made so as to reach high into the ascending branches of the upper-lobe bronchus. Full-curved coil-spring hooks will reach high, but must be used with the utmost caution, and the method of their disengagement must be practiced beforehand.
