BACKGROUND: Foreign bodies (FBs) in the ears and nose are common presentations among paediatric patients, necessitating prompt and appropriate management to avoid potential complications.
OBJECTIVE: This article presents a standardised approach for FB retrieval based on local clinical data from a tertiary paediatric centre, addressing the challenges of identifying patients requiring specialist referral.
DISCUSSION: The approach involves a detailed initial consultation and succinct examination to determine the most suitable retrieval method. Patient preparation and equipment availability are key to successful outcomes. A combination of microsuction and alligator forceps with adequate illumination is strongly recommended, along with various adjunct tools commonly available. Urgent referral to otorhinolaryngology is indicated for button batteries and previous failed attempts. This comprehensive approach seeks to achieve successful FB removal and optimise patient outcomes in both community and hospital settings.
