Lifesaving Maneuver In Full Airway Obstruction Caused By Foreign Body Aspiration: Pushing The Foreign Body To The Right Main Bronchus

Foreign body aspiration (FBA) is one of the leading causes of accidental death in children. Patients with severe respiratory failure and upper airway obstruction who need resuscitation due to FBA apply to emergency services.
