Foreign body aspiration is not an uncommon problem in infants and toddlers, and should be considered as a serious and sometimes fatal condition. We report three cases of foreign body aspiration which were located below the vocal cords, causing a nearly complete airway obstruction with severe respiratory distress. In all cases they were successfully removed in the emergency department using a laryngoscope and Magill forceps. It is important for physicians who take care of children in emergency department to know the management of these life-threatening situations. Knowledge of pediatric advanced life support measures with airway management and proper training in laryngoscope and Magill forceps management can save lives in many children.
