Parents of Angelo, a two-year-old boy from Italy: “During a family lunch, our son had choked on a nut while playing. He then had a very bad cough that wouldn’t stop. We immediately drove to the emergency room of our nearby clinic.
If something blocks the bronchial tubes of a small child, the lungs can collapse. This situation is very serious, especially for a two-year-old child. After getting a grasp of the situation, the doctors decided to remove the nut as quickly as possible with cryoextraction.“
