Rigid bronchoscopy for inhaled pen caps in children
Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 09/10/09

Jiaqiang S et al. – Pen cap inhalation mostly occurs in school–aged children. Patients usually can depict a clear history of pen cap inhalation, which is vital to early diagnosis. Inhaled pen caps can be removed safely by rigid bronchoscopy under general anesthesia combined with topical anesthesia. Open surgical techniques such as tracheotomy, thoracotomy, and bronchotomy can be avoided in most cases. More attention to programs of prevention, public and parent education, and awareness is needed to reduce the incidence of pen cap inhalation.
