Abstract
The foreign body aspiration into the respiratory system is an emergency with a high mortality rate when diagnosis and treatment are delayed, which can cause complications and repeated hospitalizations. Although it is especially common in children under the age of five, it can be seen at any age in chronically ill children with neurological problems. However, it is rarely seen in pediatric patients with a tracheostomy who are dependent on a home mechanical ventilator due to their nutritional style and severe neurological retardation. In this study, foreign body aspiration that developed in a pediatric patient with a tracheostomy who was followed up with a home mechanical ventilator and fed from gastrostomy was presented.
