Abstract:Objective To investigate the bronchoscoic manifestations and interventional therapy in adult patients with tracheobronchial foreign bodies.Methods Retrospective analysis of the clinical data in tracheoscopic manifestations and interventional therapy of 129 adult patients with tracheobronchial foreign body from January 2014 to April 2019.Results Patients were diagnosed and treated using bronchoscopy by local anesthesia (88 patients), general anesthesia (33 patients) and 8 patients diagnosed with local anesthesia and removed the foreign body after general anesthesia. Foreign bodies of 29 cases is visible under direct vision and not cause changes in the mucosa of tracheal wall, some foreign bodies with surrounding granulation tissue were observed under direct vision in 65 cases, in 23 cases were lumen blockage caused by the growth of granulation tissue in tube wall and some foreign bodies were exposed after the removal of granulation, the lumen blocked in 6 patients caused by airway secretion and the foreign bodies were seen after the secretions were aspirated, foreign bodies were incarcerated of 4 cases, there was no abnormality in 1 case under the ultra-bronchiole bronchoscopy, the obvious boundary echo foci were detected by EBUS-GS and diagnosed by the biopsy forceps. Foreign bodies of 128 cases were taken out, among them, 2 cases were taken just by vacuum suction. 95 cases were removed by one interventional method and the more common methods included cryoablation (28 cases), grasping forceps (27 cases), biopsy forceps (25 cases), foreign body basket (10 cases); 25 cases were taken by two interventions, the most commonly used means was biopsy forceps combined with cryoablation (11 cases); 6 cases were taken using three or more interventions. All these patients had no serious complications such as hemorrhage, pneumothorax, perforation and asphyxia. 124 patients recovered, 1 patient was improved after multiple endoscopic treatment due to airway stenosis, inhalation of foreign bodies for too long in 3 cases cause resulted in the formation of local bronchiectasis at the site the original foregn body, one patient was unable to remove the foreign body under tracheoscopy due to general anesthesia, surgery was recommended and the patient's family member gave up the treatment.Conclusion Tracheoscopy is a safe and effective method for diagnosing and treating adult tracheobronchial foreign bodies.
