Using a scope to find a swallowed object in children
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how well a thin tube with a camera (bronchoscopy) can find and remove objects that children might have accidentally breathed in. It may help doctors understand the best way to handle these emergencies.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are under 18 years old
- A doctor suspects you may have breathed in a small object like a toy part, food, or other item
- You do not have any birth defects in your airways that are not related to the object

This study is for very sick children with breathing problems that may be caused by airway disease. It compares using a camera through a breathing tube (bronchoscopy) versus imaging tests like X-rays to see which one better detects the problem.
This study uses a thin, flexible tube with a camera (bronchoscopy) to look inside the airways and find or treat breathing problems. It may help doctors better understand and manage lung issues in children.
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 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 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.
This study tests whether a camera-based scope can help doctors diagnose breathing problems in newborns who had surgery for a birth defect where the food tube and windpipe are connected. The goal is to avoid putting a breathing tube in the child during the exam.
