Bronchoscopy outcomes for children who inhale foreign objects
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at the outcomes of bronchoscopy (a procedure where a thin tube with a camera is used to see and remove objects from the airway) in children who may have inhaled a foreign object. The goal is to understand how well this procedure works and what happens afterward.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age: child must be younger than 18 years
- Suspicion of inhaling or swallowing a foreign object (like a small toy or food) into the airway
- No pre-existing birth defects of the airway (other than the issue caused by the object)

This study tests whether a small sensor placed near the nose can help doctors monitor children's breathing better during a procedure to remove something stuck in the airway. It may help make the procedure safer and improve how doctors manage care.
This study looks at how useful a procedure called flexible bronchoscopy is for diagnosing and treating breathing or lung issues in children. During the procedure, a thin, flexible tube with a camera is passed into the airways to see inside and sometimes take samples or remove blockages.
This study collects samples (like fluid from the lungs) during a planned bronchoscopy to look for new ways to understand and predict children's breathing problems. It might help if your child already needs this procedure for a medical reason.
This trial tests if using a thin, flexible scope (bronchoscopy) to suck out fluid and debris from the lungs helps adults with aspiration pneumonia in the emergency room. It is for those who need help clearing their airways due to swallowing problems or pneumonia on imaging.
This study compares different ways of helping patients breathe during a rigid bronchoscopy, a procedure to look inside the airways. The goal is to find the safest and most effective method.
This trial focuses on people whose foreign body is found during surgery in an area outside the throat (pharynx) and esophagus. It tests how to diagnose and treat these situations after surgery confirms what was present.
