Document: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). It has spread globally, resulting in an ongoing pandemic. Real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (rRT-PCR) from a viral swab is diagnostic. The most common site to take this swab is from the nasopharyngeal area; however, patients with tracheostomies represent a major challenge as they have two sources for colonization and possible infection including the nose and the trachea. We present the case of a patient who had a COVID-19 diagnostic swab through his tracheostomy, when unfortunately the swab broke, resulting in a bronchial foreign body.
