Abstract
Nearly 2000 persons in the United States die each year after ingesting or inhaling a foreign body. If a physician suspects a foreign body in a child's air passages, he should turn the child upside down, gently slap his back, clean his mouth of foreign material, and keep him breathing. Cricothyrotomy is an extreme emergency measure.Keywords
