Foreign body aspiration is the inhalation of an object into the respiratory tract, causing partial or complete airway obstruction. It is a critical emergency in clinical practice due to the risk of respiratory distress, infection, or sudden death. Commonly seen in children, it can lead to complications like pneumonia or atelectasis if not promptly diagnosed and managed.
