At the National Center for the Protection of Motherhood and Childhood (NCOMC) in Bishkek, doctors successfully removed a foreign object from a child's airways.

According to medical professionals, the incident involved a 1-year-old child who choked on an unknown object while playing. The child began to cough severely, and cyanosis of the lips was observed. Hearing an "unusual wheeze," the mother quickly sought medical help, after which the child was taken to NCOMC.

Upon admission, the child's condition was assessed as severe due to respiratory failure. An X-ray revealed the presence of a foreign body in the right main bronchus.

Doctors performed rigid bronchoscopy under general anesthesia and successfully extracted the foreign object, which turned out to be a small bead.

Currently, the child's condition is stable, and breathing has fully recovered.

The operation was carried out by the chief bronchoscopist of NCOMC K.B. Molodoisaev, head of the emergency surgery department A.Zh. Kadyrkulov, and anesthesiologist A. Batyrbekov. Medical specialists noted that the prompt request for help helped avoid serious consequences.
