If the foreign body is large it may cause cyanosis and even death. The foreign body may also be coughed out. Intermediate stage: The patient is relatively symptomless. The period of this stage depends on the size and type of foreign body. [specialist-ent.com]

Other common signs are cyanosis, choking, and dyspnea. However, delays in presentation for care are common, and concern about aspiration as a cause of the child’s symptoms may diminish as the primary event becomes more distant. [dontforgetthebubbles.com]

This sign is particularly helpful when chest radiography shows atelectasis or pneumonia. The specificity of this sign for foreign bodies is only 71% because other endobronchial lesions can disrupt the air column. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Clinical examination and lung ultrasound revealed an atelectasis of the left lower lobe. The etiologic assessment concluded to a bronchial foreign body. [austinpublishinggroup.com]

This causes lung collapse (atelectasis), then pneumonia. As Dr. Chevalier Jackson stated, “Not all that wheezes is asthma!” Did You Know?! In the European Union each year, approximately 20 children (14 years or younger) die from choking on a toy. [dontchoke.ubc.ca]

There is atelectasis (collapse) predominantly affecting the right lower lobe (note the distinct right heart border on the AP film, and patchy opacities below the foreign body on the lateral film). [lifeinthefastlane.com]

Other indirect signs of an airway foreign body include reabsorption atelectasis beyond the site of bronchial obstruction, and the presence of pulmonary infiltrates reflecting an inflammatory reaction. [dontforgetthebubbles.com]
