A first-aid fast track channel for rescuing critically ill children with airway foreign bodies: our clinical experience
Subject
First-aid fast Track Channel, Foreign bodies, Trachea, Child
Description
Objective: To explore the role of a first-aid fast track channel in rescuing children with airway foreign bodies and
to analyse and summarize the experience and lessons of the first-aid fast track channel in rescuing airway foreign
bodies from patients in critical condition.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of children with airway foreign bodies rescued by firstaid fast track channels admitted to our hospital from January 2017 to December 2020. The corresponding clinical
features, treatments, and prognoses were summarized.
Results: Clinical data from 21 cases of first-aid fast track channel patients were retrospectively collected, including
12 males and 9 females aged 9–18 months. Cough was the most frequently exhibited symptom (100.0%), followed
by III inspiratory dyspnoea (71.4%). Regarding the location of foreign bodies, 5 cases (23.8%) had glottic foreign
bodies, 10 cases (47.6%) had tracheal foreign bodies, and 6 cases (28.6%) had bilateral bronchial foreign bodies. The
most common type of FB was organic. FB removal was performed by rigid bronchoscopy in every case, and there
were no complications of laryngeal oedema, subcutaneous emphysema, or pneumothorax. No tracheotomy was
performed in any of the children.
Conclusion: The first-aid fast track channel for airway foreign bodies saves a valuable time for rescue, highlights the
purpose of rescue, improves the success rate of rescue and the quality of life of children, and is of great value for
the treatment of critical tracheal foreign bodies. It is necessary to regularly summarize the experience of the first-aid
fast track channel of airway foreign bodies and further optimize the setting of the first-aid fast track channel.
