Overview
Patients with aspiration might appear normal or toxic. Physical examination of patients with aspiration pneumonia is usually remarkable for fever, tachypnea, hypotension, crackles, decreased breath sounds, and increased tactile fremitus.
Physical Examination
- Physical examination of patients with aspiration pneumonia is usually remarkable for fever, tachypnea, hypotension, crackles, decreased breath sounds, and increased tactile fremitus.[1][2][3][4][5]
Appearance of the Patient

Neck
- Neck examination of patients with aspiration pneumonia is usually normal.
Lungs
- Fine/coarse crackles upon auscultation of the lung bases unilaterally
- Rhonchi

Back
- Back examination of patients with aspiration pneumonia is usually normal.
Genitourinary
- Genitourinary examination of patients with aspiration pneumonia is usually normal.
