Foreign body in bronchus - what does this mean

Foreign body in bronchus occurs when a foreign object such as a peanut, coin, or other small object is inhaled and becomes lodged in the bronchial tubes. this can cause blockage of the airway, resulting in coughing, difficulty breathing, and other respiratory symptoms. treatment typically involves removing the foreign body using specialized medical instruments.

What happens during the disease - foreign body in bronchus

Патоморфологические изменения в бронхах зависят от размеров, природы инородного тела и времени его нахождения в дыхательных путях. В начальном периоде возникает генерализованный бронхоспазм, местная гиперемия, набухание и изъязвление слизистой бронха, явления экссудации. В более поздние сроки вокруг инородного тела формируется капсула, разрастаются грануляции с их последующим рубцеванием.

 

Инородные тела в бронхах могут занимать различные позиции, ввиду чего наблюдаются разные вторичные изменения легочной ткани. При баллотирующих инородных телах просвет бронха перекрывается не полностью, внешнее дыхание критически не нарушается, вторичные воспалительные изменения в легочной ткани умеренные.

 

При вентильной закупорке бронха имеет место неплотное соприкосновение инородного тела со стенками бронха, поэтому на вдохе воздух поступает в легкое, а на выдохе, вследствие бронхоспазма, не может выйти обратно. Таким образом, происходит задержка воздуха в легочной ткани с развитием эмфиземы легкого ниже места бронхиальной обструкции. При полной закупорке бронха инородным телом в нижележащих невентилируемых отделах легкого возникает обтурационный ателектаз и ателектатическая пневмония.

 

Инородное тело бронха всегда приносит с собой инфекцию, что сопровождается местной воспалительной реакцией. Поэтому при длительно существующих инородных телах бронхов развиваются неразрешающиеся бронхиты, бронхопневмонии, деформирующий бронхит, бронхоэктазии, абсцессы легкого, бронхо-плевро-торакальные свищи.
