Purpose: It is intended to determine the demographic and clinical characteristics of the patients we are infected due to foreign body aspiration and to evaluate the outcomes of bronchoscopy. Tools and Methods: Patients at the Erciyes University Child Intensive Care Unit due to foreign bodies aspiration between 2010 and 2017 were evaluated as retrospective. Results: The girl-man ratio in this study was 1:3,2 and was similar to the other series of facts. Compared to other studies, the reduction in one-sided respiratory sound was less observed. The most frequently aspirated foreign body was identified as butter, and the part found in the foreign body was found as the right main bronze. Result: In our study we found that in children between 1-3 years of age, foreign body aspiration was observed more frequently than in other age groups. Therefore, especially in men under the age of 3 with a history of drown-style cough and with unilateral physical and radiological findings, the clinic must necessarily suspect foreign body aspiration. ABSTRACT Objectives: We aimed to determine the demographic and clinical features of patients and evaluate bronchoscopy findings who admitted to hospital with foreign body aspiration Material and Methods: Patients admitted to Erciyes University Pediatric Intensive Care Unit Between 2010 and 2017 due to foreign body aspiration were evaluated retrospectively. Results: The ratio of girls to boys in this study was 1: 3,2, which was similar to the other series. Compared with other studies, the decrease in unilateral breath sounds was less common in our study. Peanuts were found as the most common aspirated foreign body. The right main bronchus was the most common area where the foreign bodies were found. Conclusion: In our study, we found that foreign body aspiration was observed more frequently in children aged 1-3 years than in other age groups. Clinicists should be suspected of foreign body aspiration, especially in boys less than 3 years old, who have a history of coughing in a strangulated manner and have unilateral physical and radiological findings.
