Description

Tracheobronchial foreign bodies are still a major problem in infancy. Eighty percent of them are observed in children below the age of 3 years, but they are quite rare in neonates. The extraction of the tube tip, which had been used as a means of medical management during respiratory care, is reported. (orig.)
