In Bishkek, at the National Center for Maternal and Child Health (NCMCH), specialists successfully completed the task of extracting a foreign object from the airways of a young patient.
According to information from medical staff, a one-year-old child choked on a toy during play. As a result, he experienced severe coughing and lip cyanosis. Hearing a "strange wheeze," the mother immediately sought medical help, and doctors quickly referred the child to NCMCH.
Upon admission, the child's condition was assessed as severe due to shortness of breath. An X-ray confirmed the presence of a foreign body in the right main bronchus.
Surgeons performed rigid bronchoscopy under general anesthesia and successfully removed the foreign object, which turned out to be a small bead.
The child's condition is now satisfactory, and his breathing has fully recovered.
The operation was conducted by the chief bronchoscopist of NCMCH K.B. Molodoisaev, head of the emergency surgery department A.Zh. Kadyrkulov, and anesthesiologist A. Batyrbekov. The doctors emphasize that timely medical intervention prevented serious complications.
