About

Rajiv Goyal is a leading clinician-researcher whose work centers on the management of airway foreign body aspiration—a critical, life-threatening emergency that disproportionately affects young children and older adults. His most-cited paper, "Foreign body removal" (2025), provides a comprehensive synthesis of diagnostic strategies, bronchoscopic extraction techniques, and procedural outcomes, offering essential guidance for emergency and pulmonary medicine practitioners. By systematically reviewing current evidence, Goyal has helped standardize approaches to rapid diagnosis and minimally invasive removal, directly improving survival and reducing complications in vulnerable populations. His contributions are particularly impactful given the high stakes of delayed or mismanaged cases, and his work is widely referenced by specialists in pediatric pulmonology, otolaryngology, and interventional bronchoscopy. With a citation count reflecting the immediate clinical relevance of his research, Goyal continues to shape best practices in airway emergency management. His dedication to translating evidence into actionable protocols underscores his role as a trusted authority in this niche yet vital area of respiratory medicine.
