| dc.description.abstract | We aimed to investigate the frequency and epidemiological features of deaths due to foreign body asphyxiation (FBA) in childhood, over 1990-2003. Of the victims, 14 (63.6%) were male and 8 (36.4%)females. The mean age of the victims was 2.2 +/- 0.6 years. There were 20 (90.9%) children between 1 and 3 years, and two other cases at 2112 and 5 years of ages. All aspirations had occurred at home. Eight (36.4%) of the victims were dead on arrival, 11 (50%) on intervention, and 3 (13.6%) after complications. Food material was the most commonly aspirated foreign body in 81.8% of the cases, nuts being the most common (50%). Food asphyxiation remains a common problem particularly in children between I and 3 years of age in our region. These fatal accidents can be prevented by parental education and early recognition and management of the situation. | en_US |
