Abstract

PATINO-GALEANA, José Luis; SILVA-LIRA, Linda Michelle; TORRES-SANCHEZ, Noemí and MONTANO-MARTINEZ, Carlos. Therapeutic bronchoscopy in a pediatric patient with near drowning in a septic tank. Neumol. cir. torax [online]. 2021, vol.80, n.1, pp.42-45. Epub Dec 06, 2021. ISSN 0028-3746. https://doi.org/10.35366/99453.

Introduction:

Drowning and near drowning are serious and common events in pediatric patients that usually occur in fresh and/or salt water. Aspiration of organic and/or inorganic content is rare. Therapeutic bronchoscopy is used in isolated cases.

Case report:

We report the case of a 2 year old male patient with near drowning in the septic tank, its clinical, radiological and endoscopic correlation.

Conclusion:

Therapeutic bronchoscopy was the complementary procedure for the resolution of the event of aspiration of organic and inorganic material.

Keywords : Drowning; near drowning; septic tank; tomography; bronchoscopy.
