Supraglottic foreign body in a woman with Down's syndrome and congenital heart disease: A case report.

This case report shows the importance of anesthetic depth for laryngeal FB removal. The use of moderate sedation (allowing spontaneous ventilation) and adequate analgesia combined with local anesthesia enabled the patient to withstand the stress of direct laryngoscopy. Appropriate assessment, careful preparation, and multidisciplinary collaboration yielded the smooth removal of a laryngeal FB in an adult with DS.
