TY - JOUR PY - 1989// TI - Bronchopulmonary aspiration JO - Surgical cinics of North America A1 - LoCicero, J. SP - 71 EP - 76 VL - 69 IS - 1 N2 - Bronchopulmonary aspiration remains a significant threat to the surgical and intensive care unit patient, and mortality rates for this condition remain high. The key to improvement is prevention. However, if aspiration does occur, early recognition and aggressive treatment will produce the best results. Expeditious intubation, ventilation, removal of particulate matter, prevention of atelectasis, institution of antibiotics, and nutritional support are standards of care.
