Critical Care Medicine, 1973
The clinical records of 47 patients with documented aspiration were reviewed. The overall mortality was 62%. If only one lobe was involved roentgenographically, mortality was 41%. If two or more lobes on one or both sides were involved, mortality was in the range of 90%.

Postoperative Aspiration Pneumonia
Surgical Clinics of North America, 1973In a retrospective review of cases, aspiration of gastric contents was found to have occurred most commonly after upper abdominal procedures but there was a high percentage with operations on the thorax, lower part of the abdomen, ear, nose, throat, and neck.

Survey of Anesthesiology, 1977
Aspiration has been suggested as a source of pulmonary complications seen in patients with tracheal intubation. A previous study demonstrated that the high incidence of aspiration in patients with tracheostomies can be decreased by modification of the tracheostomy tube cuff design.

The bacteriology of aspiration pneumonia
The American Journal of Medicine, 1974Abstract A prospective study of 54 cases of pulmonary infection following aspiration was performed. Specimens utilized for bacteriologic study were either transtracheal aspirates, empyema fluid or blood. Appropriate anaerobic bacteriologie methods were employed. Anaerobic bacteria were recovered in 50 patients (93 per cent) and were the only pathogens

Seminars in Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine
AbstractAspiration pneumonia is a lower respiratory tract infection that results from inhalation of foreign material, often gastric and oropharyngeal contents. It is important to distinguish this from a similar entity, aspiration with chemical pneumonitis, as treatment approaches may differ.

Postgastrectomy Aspiration Pneumonia
Chest, 1995One hundred eighty-six patients who had undergone total gastrectomy were analyzed in regard to pulmonary aspiration. Sixteen patients (8.6%) with recurrent respiratory tract inflammation (r-RTI) and 45 patients (24.2%) with sporadic RTI (s-RTI) were observed. The r-RTI group frequently showed symptoms related to esophageal reflux among the many factors

Aspiration Pneumonitis and Aspiration Pneumonia
New England Journal of Medicine, 2001Aspiration is defined as the inhalation of oropharyngeal or gastric contents into the larynx and lower respiratory tract.1,2 Several pulmonary syndromes may occur after aspiration, depending on the amount and nature of the aspirated material, the frequency of aspiration, and the host's response to the aspirated material.2 Aspiration pneumonitis ...

Pneumonia After Aspiration of Grit
Chest, 1994A case is reported in a 30-yr-old man from the Netherlands who was admitted to hospital after falling from scaffolding into some grit and inhaling some of it. Chest radiography showed foreign bodies in the lower right lobe and bronchoscopy revealed grit in the lower and upper bronchus of the right lung.

Aspiration Pneumonitis and Aspiration Pneumonia
Perspectives on Swallowing and Swallowing Disorders (Dysphagia), 2009Abstract Aspiration pneumonitis and aspiration pneumonia are common entities that occur more frequently in populations that are susceptible to aspiration. In aspiration pneumonitis, the degree of lung injury caused by the aspiration of gastric contents is influenced by the pH and to a lesser extent volume of the aspirate.

Medicina clinica, 2008
The incidence and the prevalence of aspiration pneumonia (AP) in the community is poorly defined. It increases in direct relation with age and underlying diseases. The pathogenesis of AP presumes the contribution of risk factors that alter swallowing funtion and predispose the orofaringe and gastric region to bacterial colonization.
