| Abstract |
|
For the immediate proper respiratory care of a delivered newborn, the face is wiped immediately, and the mouth and nares should be suctioned. A soft rubber syringe or soft rubber catheter is suitable for suctioning. If respirations are infrequent, suction of the mouth and pharynx serves to stimulate breathing. We experienced a case of a foreign body in the distal esophagus and stomach when the proximal catheter from a DeLee trap catheter was accidentally separated during neonatal repiratory care. Removal of foreign bodies with use of a goose neck snare system is a good retrieval procedure because of its excellent torque control, positive grasping capacity, excellent radioopacity, lack of traumatic effect, and availability in different sizes. We removed the displaced catheter successfully with an Amplatz goose neck snare. |
