S2E43 - Removing Nasal Objects with the Mother‘s Kiss
Welcome to Season 2 of AMC Clinical Deep Dive!
Common in children aged 2–5, removing beads or food items is a high-yield OSCE scenario. This episode explores the "Mother’s Kiss" technique, a safe non-drug intervention backed by NHMRC Level 1 evidence with a 60% success rate. Learn the exact protocol: forming a firm mouth-to-mouth seal, occluding the unaffected nostril, and delivering a "sharp exhalation" to expel the object. We cover critical safety checks, including the mandatory need for medical supervision and why disk batteries are absolute red flags requiring immediate Emergency Department referral.

Pro Tip: In your OSCE, if you suspect a disk battery, do NOT attempt any removal; state clearly that the child must go to the Emergency Department due to the risk of tissue necrosis. For other objects, recommending the "Mother's Kiss" and citing its NHMRC Level 1 evidence shows the examiner you are a safe, evidence-based practitioner.
🎧 Episodes in Season 1 (150 clinical scenarios) have been indexed by topic, patient group, discipline, setting, and more to support targeted learning. Use the filters to locate discussions relevant to your study or clinical training.
