PY - 2018 T2 - Reichman's Emergency Medicine Procedures, 3e AB - Nasal foreign bodies are commonly seen in children, particularly those between 1 and 4 years of age. Young children are naturally curious and spend a great deal of time investigating themselves and the world around them. This involves handling, tasting, and smelling whatever they get their hands on. The Emergency Physician is faced with a foreign body in the nose when these investigations go too far. Adult patients with mental disabilities or psychiatric illness can present with a nasal foreign body. The most common foreign bodies found are beads, food (e.g., corn, nuts, peas, and popcorn), paper, rocks, and toy parts.1,2 Nasal foreign bodies result from attempts to clean the nasal cavity or to control bleeding with cotton swabs, paper, or sponge material.3 SN - PB - McGraw-Hill Education CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/03/28 UR - accessemergencymedicine.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1159809176 ER -
