Rapid and safe removal of foreign bodies in the upper esophagus in children using an optimized Miller size 3 video laryngoscope blade
Paediatric Anaesthesia Mar 07, 2021
Kaufmann J, Grozeva B, Laschat M, et al. - Researchers conducted this prospective observational study to investigate foreign body visualization and removal from the upper esophagus in children using a new optimized Miller size 3 blade video laryngoscope. This investigation was conducted in three pediatric hospitals. All children with a foreign body lodged into the upper esophagus were eligible for inclusion during the observational period from January 2019 to October 2020, and 22 cases were included in the study. There were no problems and the success rate was 100%. When foreign bodies are found in the upper part of the esophagus, the new Miller size 3 video laryngoscope allows for fast, painless, and reliable extraction. As early removal of esophageal foreign bodies, especially with button batteries, prevents life-threatening complications, this technique is suggested as the first choice of treatment.
