Clinical presentation varies from non-specific respiratory symptoms to respiratory failure making diagnosis challenging.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Objective\u2003To review pediatric patients who underwent bronchoscopy due to suspicion of foreign body aspiration at a tertiary center in Malaysia.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Methods\u2003We retrospectively studied patients &lt; 11 years old who underwent bronchoscopy from 2008 to 2018.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Results\u2003Over the 10-year period, 20 patients underwent bronchoscopy, and 16 were found to have foreign body aspiration with equal gender distribution. The most common age group was &lt; 3 years old (75%). The most common clinical presentations were choking (82%) and stridor (31%). Foreign bodies were removed using flexible bronchoscope in 8 cases (50%), and difficulties were encountered in 6 cases (75%). Rigid ventilating bronchoscope was used in 8 cases (50%) with no difficulty. The most common object found was peanut (19%). The majority of foreign bodies were lodged in the right bronchus (43%). Eight patients (80%) received delayed treatment due to delayed diagnosis. The length of hospital stay was longer in the younger age groups.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Conclusion\u2003Clinical presentation and chest radiograph findings were comparable across all age groups. The most difficulties encountered during foreign body removal were via flexible bronchoscope, in children &lt; 3 years old. There was no significant correlation between age and type of foreign body aspiration. The majority of patients who received delayed treatment were &lt; 3 years old. The length of hospital stay was longer in the younger age groups.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0040-1709739","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,6,27]],"date-time":"2020-06-27T01:21:33Z","timestamp":1593220893000},"page":"e193-e199","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":43,"title":["A Five-Year Review on Pediatric Foreign Body Aspiration"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"25","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2711-4177","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zuraini Mohammad","family":"Nasir","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Otorhinolaryngology -
