Purpose: The purpose of the present study was toevaluate the long-term lung status using spirometry inpatients who underwent rigid bronchoscopy in acuteperiod due to foreign body aspiration.Materials and Methods: Records of 142 children whounderwent bronchoscopy due to foreign body aspirationbetween March 2013 and April 2018 were retrospectivelyreviewed. The data of 20 patients who cooperated with thespirometry process were included in this study (Group 1).Twenty patients who were admitted to the routinepediatric surgeon polyclinic without any lung problem andpain complaints were included in the study as a controlgroup (Group 2). Forced expiratory flow rate (FEV1),forced vital capacity (FVC), FEV1/FVC, and forcedexpiratory flow at 25-75% of forced vital capacity (FEF25–75) parameters were recorded in the first second.Results: Based on the statistical analysis results, there wasno significant effect of age, sex, and BMI on FEV1, FVC,and FEF 25–75 values. The effect of bronchoscopyprocedure on the same values, the difference betweenFEV1 and FVC values was statistically significant, whereasthe difference between FEV1/FVC and FEF 25–75 valueswas not statistically significant for Groups 1 and 2.Conclusion: There was no long-term negative effect onlung capacities assessed using spirometry in our patientswho received early-diagnosis and intervention within 24 h.
