Airway foreign body is the unintentional entry of objects into the larynx, trachea, or bronchi, causing airway obstruction, severe coughing, wheezing, breathing difficulties, or even asphyxiation. It is a common emergency condition in respiratory, critical care, emergency, otolaryngology, and pediatric departments, etc. With the popularization of flexible bronchoscopic techniques, endoscopic foreign body removal has been widely used in adults and children. The combined application of various instruments, such as alligator forceps, mesh baskets, balloons, and cryoprobes could safely and effectively remove foreign body. This article briefly described the treatment modalities for airway foreign body and summarized effective approaches using flexible bronchoscopy in its treatment.
