Medical Conditions - Nasal Foreign Body Removal

Nasal foreign body removal is required to avoid serious complications caused by the presence of a foreign body in the nasal cavity. The positive pressure expulsion method is the most commonly used technique for nasal foreign body removal in children. This method is accomplished by orally applying pressure via an Ambu bag or parent's mouth. Using mechanical instruments for foreign body removal is not advisable to prevent damage to the nasal cavity.
