Abstract

In the belief that the mortality arising from the inhalation of foreign bodies may be higher than need be and that the morbidity is unquestionably so, and that the reporting of cases thought to be unusual or in which difficulties arose may be helpful to others, 8 cases of intrabronchial foreign bodies are recorded. These are discussed, and in the discussion other cases are referred to in order to illustrate the points made.
