摘要
Chest radiography is a sensitive indicator of bronchial obstruction by aspirated foreign bodies. In young children and infants, adequate expiratory studies are easily obtained when gentle pressure is applied to the epigastrium with a lead-gloved hand. This technique is preferable to fluoroscopy, decubitus views and radionuclide perfusion imaging for the diagnosis of partial bronchial obstruction.
