Abstract

Rigid Bronchoscopy is carried out for the diagnosis and removal of the foreign body. The post operative period may have complications like laryngobronchial spasm, laryngeal oedema, in turn may require tracheostomy and later on may lead to cardiac arrest and respiratory arrest. These post operative complications can be drastically reduced by the use of nebulization with the combination of steroids, Bronchodilators and lignocaine. Combination with lignocaine nebulization reduces rates of morbidity and mortality effectively then nebulizing only steroid and bronchodilators. Lignocaine reduces the irritative cough, reactive secretion and also hence bronchospasm and also vomiting.
