Abstract:
The prevention and control of 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) is currently the primary task of all industries in China. People can be infected through respiratory droplets, airborne and close contact. Pediatric airway foreign body is a common otorhinolaryngology emergency, especially occurred in 1 to 3-year-old children. It usually causes complications like airway obstruction, suffocation and pneumonia, which may become an acute threat to life. The common practice in otorhinolaryngology emergency room is to perform direct laryngoscope, bronchoscope and foreign body removal. Medical staff need to be closely contacted with these children during surgical operation, who may produce massive droplets and aerosols during examination. With a combination of characteristics of surgical operation, this article intends to provide advices on diagnosis and treatment of airway foreign body removal for pediatric otorhinolaryngology colleagues during the prevention and control of 2019-nCoV. Adjustments could be made subsequently due to changes of the epidemic situation and the recognition of 2019-nCoV.
