Abstract
Foreign-body (FB) aspirations account for a reasonable percentage of respiratory emergencies in young children. Whereas 67% of aspirated FBs are of organic origin, metallic-ferromagnetic FBs are observed less frequently. We report the use of a wire with a magnetic tip fitting into the working channel of a rigid bronchoscope for removal of ferromagnetic FBs from the tracheobronchial tree.Entities:
