Abstract
We present a technique utilizing internal traction-assisted mobilization to effectively retrieve objects, such as pen caps, that lack an external grasping surface and resist conventional rigid bronchoscopy. In this case, tracheotomy served as an alternative extraction route for impacted foreign bodies that failed to pass across the glottis or subglottic region. Concurrently, ECMO maintains oxygenation during complex airway manipulation and reduces the risk of hypoxia.
