Clinical effect comparison of traditional and visible methods for the removal of foreign bodies in respiratory tract

Objective To compare the effects of traditional foreign body removal and visual foreign body removal methods in the respiratory tract. Methods Eighty children with foreign body in respiratory tract in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou Unirversity from 2015 to 2016 were divided into traditional foreign body removal group and visual foreign body removal group according to the way of foreign body removal. The foreign bodies were divided into tracheal foreign body and bronchial foreign body according to the location of foreign body. The time of forceps removal, the frequency of forceps removal, the probability of foreign body being pushed into the bronchus and the probability of second operation of the traditional foreign body removal group and visual foreign body removal group were recorded. Results There was no significant difference in the time of forceps removal, the number of forceps removal or the probability of foreign bodies being pushed into the bronchi between traditional and visual operations for tracheal foreign bodies(P>0.05). There were significant differences in the removal time, the number of forcep removal and the probability of second operation between the two methods (P<0.05). Conclusions For the removal of tracheal foreign body, due to the small number of samples, the data can not definitely support that visual surgery can shorten the operation time, reduce clamping numbers and the probability of pulling the foreign bodies into the bronchus. For the removal of bronchial foreign body, visual surgery can reduce the operation time, the clamp times, and improve the success rate of surgery.
