PATINO-GALEANA, José Luis; SILVA-LIRA, Linda Michelle; TORRES-SANCHEZ, Noemí y 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 06-Dic-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.
