Aspiration pneumonia occurs following aspiration of different materials and particles. Natural history, complications, and prognosis are different for each category. [[Chemical pneumonitis]] usually develop after [[aspiration]] of [[gastric acid]] and might present acutely within two hours. Rapid clinical recovery or worsening of [[Respiratory failure|respiratory distress]] and [[hypoxemia]] might happen. [[Infection|Bacterial infection]] following aspiration is slower that other [[community-acquired pneumonia]] and might be acute, subacute, or chronic. [[Foreign body]] aspiration might present acutely with mechanical [[obstruction]] or [[chemical pneumonitis]]. Patients might present acutely with [[inflammation]] and [[cough]], [[fever]], and [[dyspnea]]. However, they might be [[asymptomatic]] and present with an incidental mass on radiographs. Complications of aspiration pneumonia include segmental or [[Pneumonia|lobar pneumonia]], [[bronchopneumonia]], [[bronchiectasis]], [[lung abscess]], [[pleural empyema]], [[respiratory failure]], [[bacteremia]], and [[shock]].

Overview

Aspiration pneumonia occurs following aspiration of different materials and particles. Natural history, complications, and prognosis are different for each category. Chemical pneumonitis usually develop after aspiration of gastric acid and might present acutely within two hours. Rapid clinical recovery or worsening of respiratory distress and hypoxemia might happen. Bacterial infection following aspiration is slower that other community-acquired pneumonia and might be acute, subacute, or chronic. Foreign body aspiration might present acutely with mechanical obstruction or chemical pneumonitis. Patients might present acutely with inflammation and cough, fever, and dyspnea. However, they might be asymptomatic and present with an incidental mass on radiographs. Complications of aspiration pneumonia include segmental or lobar pneumonia, bronchopneumonia, bronchiectasis, lung abscess, pleural empyema, respiratory failure, bacteremia, and shock.

Natural History, Complications, and Prognosis

Natural History

  • Aspiration pneumonia occurs following aspiration of different materials and particles. Natural history, complications, and prognosis are different for each category.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]

Chemical pneumonitis

Bacterial infection

Foreign body aspiration

Lipoid Pneumonia

Complications

Prognosis

  • Aspiration pneumonia prognosis is generally good, and mortality rate of patients with aspiration pneumonia is approximately 10.6-21%.[8]
  • The presence of underlying neurologic diseases that affect cough reflex is associated with a particularly poor prognosis among patients with aspiration pneumonia.
