AB  - Aspiration  of  foreign  bodies  occurs  much  less  frequently  in  adults  than  in  children.  Older  adults  and  denture  wearers  appear  to  be  at  greatest  risk.  Wider  familiarity  with  the  Heimlich  maneuver  has  reduced  deaths.  If  the  maneuver  is  unsuccessful,  cricothyrotomy  may  be  necessary.  Plain  chest  radiographs  may  reveal  a  radiopaque  foreign  body.  Detection  of  radiolucent  foreign  bodies  may  be  aided  by  inspiration-expiration  films  that  demonstrate  air  trapping  distal  to  the  obstructed  segment.  Atelectasis  and  pneumonia  may  occur  later.
