mg.dL.
An 18-month-old is seen for fever, slight circumoral cyanosis, and wheezing noted on
auscultation in the right upper lobe of the lung field after a choking event 4 days ago. The white
blood cell count is elevated and the patient noted to be tachypneic, tachycardic, agitated, and has
an increased respiratory effort. At the time of the event, the patient was started on antibiotics
with subsequent increasing manifestations instead of improvement. This of the following would
be considered to be def - ANSWER bronchoscopy
Remediation feedback:
Manifestations of a lower airway foreign body include a choking incident with subsequent
, failure to improve on antibiotics. Wheezing or decreased lung sounds in one area of the
pulmonary system is a high indicator for a foreign body along with signs of hypoxia such as
cyanosis, tachypnea, tachycardia, increased respiratory effort, agitation or lethargy, and elevated
white blood cell counts indicating an infectious process. The definitive treatment would be a
bronchoscopy in order to retrieve the suspected foreign body instead of diagnostic tests to locate
the foreign body itself.
