New study to check how well bronchoscopy works for kids who inhale objects
NCT ID NCT07150689
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study will look at how well bronchoscopy works to remove objects that children accidentally inhale. About 75 children under 18 with suspected foreign body aspiration will be included. Doctors will use either a rigid or flexible scope to find and remove the object, and then check for any complications. The goal is to see how often the object is successfully removed and what problems might occur.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could confirm that bronchoscopy is a safe and effective way to remove inhaled objects in children, helping guide treatment decisions.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a test of a new treatment. It will not change current practice on its own, and complications like bleeding or breathing problems can still occur.
