They can become life threatening emergencies that require immediate intervention or go unnoticed for weeks and even months. Prevention is best but early recognition remains a critical factor in treatment of foreign body inhalation in children.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Objective\u2003To study the diagnostic advantages of virtual over rigid bronchoscopy in the evaluation of children with suspected foreign body in the tracheobronchial tree and plan for early management.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Methods\u2003A crossectional study conducted at a tertiary care hospital &amp; medical college in India. A total 24 patients (0-12-years-old) who presented with complaints of sudden onset of coughing, choking, and breathing difficulty were included during the 2-year duration, from January 2018 to December 2019. All patients underwent virtual and rigid bronchoscopy.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Results\u2003In 8 patients, foreign bodies detected by virtual bronchoscopy were confirmed by rigid bronchoscopy. There was one case in which virtual bronchoscopy showed no foreign body, but rigid bronchoscopy detected it. In 15 cases virtual and rigid bronchoscopy did not show foreign bodies. The sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value of virtual bronchoscopy were 88.88, 100, 100, and 93.75%, respectively.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Conclusions\u2003Virtual bronchoscopy is less invasive and does not require general anesthesia but cost and availability are limitations. It can be used as method of investigation in children with suspected foreign body aspiration.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0043-1778015","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,6]],"date-time":"2024-02-06T00:56:35Z","timestamp":1707180995000},"page":"e468-e472","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Role of Virtual Bronchoscopy in Evaluation of Suspected Foreign Body in Children's Tracheobronchial Tree"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"28","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0006-5123-8897","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rachana M.","family":"Prajapati","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ear, Nose & Throat and Head and Neck Surgery, GMERS Medical College, Gotri, Vadodara, Gujarat, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jayman B.","family":"Raval","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ear, Nose & Throat and Head and Neck Surgery, Baroda Medical College, Vadodara, Gujarat, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ranjan G.","family":"Aiyer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ear, Nose & Throat and Head and Neck Surgery, Baroda Medical College, Vadodara, Gujarat, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,5]]},"reference":[{"issue":"10","key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"814","DOI":"10.1288\/00005537-193610000-00008","article-title":"Diseases of the air and food passages of foreign body origin","volume":"46","author":"C Jackson","year":"1936","journal-title":"Laryngoscope"},{"issue":"04","key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1016","DOI":"10.1213\/ANE.0b013e3181ef3e9c","article-title":"The anesthetic considerations of tracheobronchial foreign bodies in children: a literature review of 12,979 cases","volume":"111","author":"C W Fidkowski","year":"2010","journal-title":"Anesth Analg"},{"issue":"05","key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"682","DOI":"10.1016\/0022-3468(94)90740-4","article-title":"Bronchoscopic removal of aspirated foreign bodies in children","volume":"29","author":"R E Black","year":"1994","journal-title":"J Pediatr Surg"},{"issue":"08","key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1229","DOI":"10.1016\/S0022-3468(99)90157-4","article-title":"Eight years' experience with foreign-body aspiration in children: what is really important for a timely diagnosis?","volume":"34","author":"S Metrangelo","year":"1999","journal-title":"J Pediatr Surg"},{"issue":"07","key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"885","DOI":"10.1001\/archsurg.1988.01400310099017","article-title":"Bronchoscopy for aspirated foreign bodies in children.
