(A) The most commonly aspirated food products by infants and children include peanuts, chunky peanut butter, hot dogs, popcorn, seeds, grapes, raisins, carrots, meat, and hard candies. Children too young to chew and swallow carefully (usually <5 years of age) should not be given these foods. (B) A piece of hot dog is seen lodged in the trachea of a 2.5-year-old child presenting in cardiopulmonary arrest. For children <5 years, hot dogs should be cut longitudinally and not into round pieces. (Photo contributor: Binita R. Shah, MD [A] and Charles Catanese, MD [B].) Source: Chapter 6.
