Objective: To determine the frequency of various foreign bodies (FBs) retrieved from the airway during bronchoscopy in children at the National Institute of Child Health (NICH), Karachi, Pakistan.  Study Design: Cross-sectional descriptive study.  Place and Duration: Department of Pediatrics Surgery, NICH, Karachi, Pakistan from June 1, 2017 to November 30, 2017.  Methodology: Patients referred from the ER and Pediatrics Medicine Department, NICH, Karachi with a suspicion of tracheobronchial foreign body aspiration (FBA) was included in the study.  Results: A total of 96 children were studied. There were 71 males (74%) and 25 females (26%). Eighty-seven (90.6%) were below five years and nine (9.4%) were more than five years of age. Mean time interval between FBA and presentation at hospital was 15 h. FB was located primarily in the right main bronchus (54%), followed by left bronchus (40%) and trachea (6%). Betel nut was the most common FB retrieved in 87.5%. Other FBs were whistle 3.1%, peanut 3.1%, seed 1%, and miscellaneous 5.2%.  Conclusions: FBA is more common in male children, mostly below five years of age. During bronchoscopy, it was found that the FB was mostly located in the right main bronchus. Betel nut was found to be the most common FB aspirated.
