Abstract

A 4-year-old child presented to a tertiary care hospital with symptoms of respiratory tract infection. During management, a nasopharyngeal airway (NPA) was inserted for better oxygenation and suctioning. Two hours later, it was observed that the NPA was missing. Investigations led to the eventual finding of the NPA in the stomach which was removed successfully with upper GI endoscopy under general anesthesia.
Abbreviations: NPA: nasopharyngeal airway, PVC: polyvinyl chloride.
Keywords: Nasopharyngeal airway, Endoscopic measures, Complications.
