The Use Of Forceps In Endoscopic Foreign Body ExtractionCategory: MECHANICAL PROBLEMS OF BRONCHOSCOPIC FOREIGN BODY EXTRACTION Source: A Manual Of Peroral Endoscopy And Laryngeal Surgery Two different strengths of forceps are supplied, as will be seen in the list in Chapter 1. The regular forceps have a powerful grasp and are used on dense foreign bodies which require considerable pressure on the object to prevent the forceps from slipping off. For more delicate manipulation, and particularly for friable foreign bodies, the lighter forceps are used. Spring-opposed forceps render any delicacy of touch impossible. Forceps are to be held in the right hand, the thumb in one ring, and the third, or ring finger, in the other ring. These fingers are used to open and close the forceps, while all traction is to be made by the right index finger, which has its position on the forceps handle near the stylet, as shown in Fig. 78. It is absolutely essential for accurate work, that the forceps jaws be seen to close upon the foreign body. The impulse to seize the object as soon as it is discovered must be strongly resisted. A careful study of its size, shape, and position and relation to surrounding structures must be made before any attempt at extraction. The most favorable point and position for grasping having been obtained, the closed forceps are inserted through the bronchoscope, the light reflex obtained, the forceps blades now opened are turned in such a position that, on advancing, the foreign body will enter the open V, a sufficient distance to afford a good grasp. The blades are then closed and the foreign body is drawn against the tube mouth. Few foreign bodies are sufficiently small to allow withdrawal through the tube, so that tube, forceps and foreign body are usually withdrawn together. [FIG. 78.--Proper hold of forceps. The right thumb and third fingers are inserted into the rings while the right index finger has its place high on the handle. All traction is made with the index finger, the ring fingers being used only to open and close the forceps. If any pushing is deemed safe it may be done by placing the index finger back of the thumb-nut on the stylet.] Next: Anchoring The Foreign Body Against The Tube Mouth Previous: The Light Reflex On The Forceps
