Abstract
A study was conducted in Heraklion, Crete, Greece to evaluate the effect of a campaign for proper education of the public on the risk of foreign body aspiration in children. A retrospective analysis of 87 endoscopic foreign body removal in children was performed at the department of Otorhinolaryngology during the period between January 2000 and December 2004. Results were compared with those of a previous study conducted during the period between 1991 and 1999. A foreign body was discovered in 44 cases, while in43 cases there were no findings. Both crude and age standardized bronchoscopy rates appear to be lower in the time period between 2000–2004 as compared to the time period prior to the educational program.8
