| There was once a shepherd-boy who kept his flock at a little distance from the village. Once he thought he would play a trick on the villagers and have some fun at their expense. So he ran toward the village crying out, with all his might,-- ... Read more of THE BOY WHO CRIED "WOLF!" at Children Stories.ca | Informational Privacy |

Removal Of Double Pointed TacksCategory: MECHANICAL PROBLEMS OF BRONCHOSCOPIC FOREIGN BODY EXTRACTION Source: A Manual Of Peroral Endoscopy And Laryngeal Surgery If the tack or staple be small, and lodged in a relatively large trachea a version may be done. That is, the staple may be turned over with the hook or rotation forceps and brought out with the points trailing. With a long staple in a child's trachea the best method is to coax the intruder along gently under ocular guidance, never making traction enough to bury the point deeply, and lifting the point with the hook whenever it shows any inclination to enter the wall. Great care and dexterity are required to get the intruder through the glottis. In certain locations, one or both points may be turned into branch bronchi as illustrated in Fig. 88, or over the carina into the opposite main bronchus. Another method is to get both points into the tube-mouth. This may be favored, as demonstrated by my assistant, Dr. Gabriel Tucker, by tilting the staple so as to get both points into the longest diameter of the tube-mouth. In some cases I have squeezed the bronchoscope in a vise to create an oval tube-mouth. In other cases I have used expanding forceps with grooved blades. [FIG. 88.-Schema illustrating podalic version of bronchially-lodged staples or double-pointed tacks. H, bronchoscope. A, swollen mucosa covering points of staple. At E the staple has been manipulated upward with bronchoscopic lip and hooks until the points are opposite the branch bronchial orifices, B, C. Traction being made in the direction of the dart (F), by means of the rotation forceps, and counterpressure being made with the bronchoscopic lip on the points of the staple, the points enter the branch bronchi and permit the staple to be turned over and removed with points trailing harmlessly behind (K).] Next: The Extraction Of Tightly Fitting Foreign Bodies From The Bronchi Previous: Removal Of Open Safety Pins From The Trachea And Bronchi
