KIMS pediatric airway medical procedures

Overview

Medical teams at KIMS facilities in India have performed specialized procedures to resolve critical pediatric airway issues.

In Bhubaneswar, surgeons at KIMS utilized a hybrid bronchoscopy approach to extract a metallic LED bulb from a four-year-old girl’s lower right lung. The procedure followed several days of persistent coughing and unsuccessful attempts at another hospital.

In Hyderabad, doctors at KIMS Cuddles treated a 28-day-old infant suffering from Grade 2 subglottic stenosis. To avoid a tracheostomy, the medical team performed endoscopic balloon dilatation to widen the narrowed airway, successfully restoring airflow to the infant.
