ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#To discuss the etiology, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of pneumomediastinum or pneumothorax during the removal of bronchial foreign bodies in children.@*METHODS@#We analyzed the clinical data of 10 cases of pneumomediastinum or pneumothorax during the removal of bronchial foreign bodies in children.@*RESULTS@#Two patients died and the other 8 were cured.@*CONCLUSION@#Pneumomediastinum or pneumothorax is mainly caused by the intrapulmonary hyper-pressure and fracture of pulmonary bubbles. The prognosis of pneumomediastinum or pneumothorax is closely related to such factors as correct and punctual diagnosis and quick removal of the airway obstruction.
