Overview
Literature on aspiration pneumonia came in to knowledge of medical society along with discovery of pneumonia. Major break through came when x-ray was invented by Roentgen in 1896 .
Historical Perspective
Following are important land mark events that shows how aspiration pneumonia became an important entity of critical care:[1][2][3][4][5]
| Year | Events |
|---|---|
| 460 BC–380 BC | Hippocrates described pnumonia |
| 1138–1204 AD | Maimonides wrote about pneumonia as "The basic symptoms which occur in pneumonia and which are never lacking are as follows: acute fever, sticking pleuritic pain in the side, short rapid breaths, serrated pulse and cough." |
| 1875 | Bacteria was first seen in the airways of individuals who died from pneumonia by Edwin Klebs |
| 1848 | worked on identifying the two common bacterial causes Streptococcus pneumoniae and Klebsiella pneumoniae was performed by Carl Friedländer |
| 1893 | Veillon was first to write about role of anaerobic bacteria in aspiration pneumonia |
| 1896 | Roentgen describes X-rays. |
| 1918 | Sir William Osler, known as "the father of modern medicine," appreciated the morbidity and mortality of pneumonia, describing it as the "captain of the men of death" |
| 1927 | Smith was first to clearly show anaerobic bacterial growth in animal models suffered aspiration pneumonia |
| 1929 | Drinker and Shaw announce the invention of the iron lung during the polio epidemic |
| 1946 | Fenn and coworkers publish work on pulmonary gas exchange |
| 1950 | Steroid used for asthma |
| 1970's | Plethora was discovered with introduction of using clindamycin in it's treatment |
| 1985 | Specimen collected from patients of aspiration pneumonia were vastly cultured and it was called anaerobic bandwagon |
