Aspiration of foreign bodies through the respiratory tract is not a rarity and constitutes an urgent and serious problem in the pediatric population. This research was carried out with the aim of knowing the epidemiological clinical behavior of intrabronchial aspiration of foreign bodies in children under 5 years of age at Hospital Hermanos Cordové and to develop a procedure that favors the quality of care for this group of patients. A descriptive, retrospective and cross-sectional study was carried out, with an analytical line, in children under 5 years of age graduated from the Hermanos Cordové Provincial Pediatric Teaching Hospital, in Manzanillo, with a diagnosis of intrabronchial aspiration of foreign bodies in the period from January 2017 to December 2018. The risk factors that determine the appearance of foreign body aspiration include the age of less than three years old, male and of rural origin. Organic foreign bodies needed less time to diagnose and it was not possible to establish a typical sequence of clinical behavior. An accident response procedure was prepared for diagnoses and behavior to be followed when faced with intrabronchial aspiration of foreign bodies in children.
