| description | Introduction: For Otorhinolaryngologist, removal of Foreign
Bodies (FB) from the ear, nose and throat is one of the common
emergency procedures done. Most of the cases especially of
the ear and nose can be managed without General Anaesthesia
(GA). But in some cases GA may be needed. There are very few
studies that address the scenario of ear, nose and throat foreign
body that required GA for its removal and the complications
associated with it.
Aim: This study was conducted with the aim to study the
patient’s profile, types and distribution of FB removed under
GA, and the associated complications.
Materials and Methods: The present study is a hospital
based retrospective, cross-sectional study conducted in
the Department of Otorhinolaryngology in association with
Department of Anaesthesiology and Critical Care in North
Eastern Indira Gandhi Regional Institute of Health and Medical
Sciences, Shillong, Meghalaya, India from year 2009 to 2014.
Information was collected from indoor patient file and operation
record book. Those patients where foreign body was not found
after examination under GA were excluded.
Results: A total of 112 cases of foreign body in ear, nose and
throat removed under GA were selected. There was variation
of age from youngest case being 11 months to 74 years with a
slight male predominance. Two third of the patients belonged to
paediatric age group. Most of the FB were inanimate with high
number of inorganic type found in majority. Foreign body in food
passage was found in most cases. Coin and meat bone were
the common FB in children and adults respectively. We found
no complications related to removal of foreign body from the
food passage and nose. But some complications were seen in
foreign body of ear and tracheo-bronchial tree.
Conclusion: Ear, nose and throat FB that required GA were seen
in all age groups. FB of food passage constitute the majority.
Type of foreign body varies between children and adults. In
children most common types were related to toys and their
part and food materials. In adults, food materials were most
common. |
