Simulation Training for Airway Obstruction in Pediatrics

Abstract

Foreign body airway obstruction is the 4th leading cause of death in children and adolescents. Despite the development and dissemination of emergency aid methods, the introduction of endoscopic examination and treatment methods, and the increased knowledge of medical personnel and the population in providing first aid, this problem is extremely relevant at present. This study included a detailed analysis of foreign body airway obstruction episodes in children in the Ryazan region over a 5-year period, and described clinical cases that allow us to assess the importance of early diagnosis and treatment.
