The second section discusses the various types of foreign bodies that can become lodged in the air-passages, such as food, toys, and other objects. The third section details the symptoms and signs of foreign body obstruction, including coughing, wheezing, and difficulty breathing. The fourth section covers the diagnostic techniques used to identify foreign bodies in the air-passages, such as X-rays and bronchoscopy. The fifth section provides a step-by-step guide to removing foreign bodies from the air-passages, including both surgical and non-surgical techniques. The final section of the book focuses on the prevention of foreign bodies in the air-passages, including tips for parents and caregivers to reduce the risk of accidental ingestion or inhalation. Throughout the book, Gross draws on his extensive experience as a physician and surgeon to provide practical advice and guidance for healthcare professionals and laypeople alike.
