Foreign Body Removal With the Assistance of Ultrasound Guidance and Methylene Blue Staining in Children

Yuxi Su50 enrolled

Overview

Soft-tissue foreign bodies (FB) are very commonly observed in pediatric emergency departments. Some are metallic and can be diagnosed easily via X-ray radiography, whereas others are radiolucent and are hence less easily diagnosed. Not all FB can be removed effectively, even via open surgery and C-arm guidance. This deficiency may potentially be addressed through the ultrasound (US) skills instrument, which is increasingly popular and is convenient for use in the operation room. In the current study, we evaluated the efficiency of FB removal with the assistance of US and methylene blue (MB) staining.
