This 3-year old baby has a crayon stuck in his nose which is not obstructing the respiratory passage for now. The kid is breathing well and his vital signs such as respiratory rate, pulse rate and partial oxygen pressure are normal. Hence, non physiologic demonstration of emergency condition is noted. However, the patient has physical symptoms such as irritation and swelling, is a non-verbal kid which makes him highly susceptible to complications. The crayon cannot be take out with a forceps as it is deeply embedded and placing warmth on nose will also not help in reducing swelling. the partial oxygen pressure of the kid is normal and high concentration oxygen is thus not required.
