Symptoms Of Tracheal And Bronchial Foreign BodyCategory: FOREIGN BODIES IN THE AIR AND FOOD PASSAGES Source: A Manual Of Peroral Endoscopy And Laryngeal Surgery 1. Tracheal foreign bodies are usually movable and their movements can usually be felt by the patient. 2. Cough is usually present at once, may disappear for a time and recur, or may be continuous, and may be so violent as to induce vomiting. In recent cases fixed foreign bodies cause little cough; shifting foreign bodies cause violent coughing. 3. Sudden shutting off of the expiratory blast and the phonation during paroxysmal cough is almost pathognomonic of a movable tracheal foreign body. 4. Dyspnea is usually present in tracheal foreign bodies, and is due to the bulk of the foreign body plus the subglottic swelling caused by the traumatism of the shiftings of the intruder. 5. Dyspnea is usually absent in bronchial foreign bodies. 6. The respiratory rate is increased only if a considerable portion of lung is out of function, by the obstruction of a main bronchus, or if inflammatory sequelae are extensive. 7. The asthmatoid wheeze is usually present in tracheal foreign bodies, and is often louder and of lower pitch than the asthmatoid wheeze of bronchial foreign bodies. It is heard at the open mouth, not at the chest wall; and prolonged expiration as though to rid the lungs of all residual air, may be necessary to elicit it. 8. Pain is not a common symptom, but may occur and be accurately localized by the patient, in case of either tracheal or bronchial foreign body.
