Abstract
Obstructive asphyxia is an acute pathological condition that develops at an accidental or intentional overlap of the upper and / or lower respiratory tract followed by the development of signs of acute respiratory failure (ARF) and acute heart failure (AHF). Foreign bodies of the respiratory tract in the structure of mortality in ENT-pathology occupy the 2nd place. Early diagnosis and correct treatment tactics significantly reduce the level of mortality in this pathological condition. Most often (85- 95% of all cases) foreign bodies of the respiratory tract occur in children aged 1.5 to 3 years; 80% of cases of foreign bodies of the lower respiratory tract occur at the age from 2 to 15 years. For life, the most dangerous are foreign fixed bodies, which are located at the level from the pharynx to the trachea bifurcation, and those that cause a complete obstruction. Foreign bodies, which partially obturate the airways and create a valve mechanism are also life threatening. The least dangerous to life, but very dangerous for health are foreign bodies of the small bronchi.
