Najoan1, M.R. Jasin1, W. Indawati1\n1Respirology Division, Department of Pediatrics, Medical Faculty of Indonesia University, Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital, Jakarta\n\n\nBackground\nStraight pin aspiration, as a type of foreign body aspiration (FBA), is especially prevalent in Islamic countries such as Indonesia due to its common use of headscarf and straight pin as fixation. Extraction of aspirated straight pin can be performed either by rigid or flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopy, depending on the foreign body location and practice patterns. This study aimed to describe between extraction procedures and complications of straight pin aspiration removal in children.\n\nMethods\nA retrospective study was conducted on 17 children cases of straight pin aspiration in Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital between January 2018 and December 2022, who underwent rigid bronchoscopy and flexible bronchoscopy. Chi-square analysis was performed to analyze association between FBA extraction procedures and complications.\n\nResults\nIn this study, 6 out of 17 (35,3%) aspirated straight pin were successfully extracted under rigid bronchoscopy. Flexible bronchoscopy was performed in 11 patients (64,7%), with 2 of them failed due to its lower site of impaction. Thoracotomy procedure was then performed and succeeded in the remaining 2 patients. Most common location of impaction were in left main bronchus (n": null, " 47.1%), without any serious or fatal complications. Study analysis found no correlation between flexible bronchoscopy and other procedures on higher rate of complications, with laceration (p": null}
