TY - JOUR PY - 2006// TI - Unusual finding on bronchoscopy: trauma patient identified as a body stuffer JO - Journal of clinical anesthesia A1 - Chang, Candace A1 - Grush, Aimee A1 - McClintock, Dana E. A1 - Nahid, Payam A1 - Tang, Julin F. SP - 628 EP - 630 VL - 18 IS - 8 N2 - We present the case of a trauma patient whose persistently abnormal chest radiography led to exploratory bronchoscopy. After the discovery of a foreign body in the right lower lobe bronchus, an attempted retrieval resulted in accidental perforation of a cocaine bag and release of the drug, which may have been the cause of the patient's subsequent pneumonitis.
