Foreign Body Removal for the Intubated Patient: Rat-Tooth Forceps and Spiral Wire Basket - Procedure Video

Video Transcription

Video Summary

A bronchoscopy was performed on a patient who had a peanut and a raisin lodged in their airway. The peanut was successfully retrieved using a basket tool, while the raisin required the use of forceps. The patient was intubated during the procedure to secure the airway. The objects were removed without causing damage to the airway, and the patient was monitored for any remaining foreign bodies. The procedure ended with the reversal of anesthesia and the removal of the endotracheal tube.
