Overview
There are different approaches for different classes of aspiration pneumonia. Pneumonitis and bacterial infection require antibiotic therapy, while foreign body aspiration and mechanical obstruction may need invasive interventions. Chemical pneumonitis must be treated supportively. Immediate clearing of the respiratory tract from aspirated material and fluid by suction must be the first step if the diagnosis of aspiration is definite. Pharmacologic medical therapy for aspiration pneumonia includes antibiotics such as ampicillin-sulbactam, amoxicillin-clavulanate, or clindamycin for 7 days. Alternative regimens include combination of metronidazole with penicillin G, amoxicillin, ceftriaxone, or cefotaxime. Positive pressure ventilation with 100% oxygen to support pulmonary function is sometimes required.
Medical Therapy
- There are different pharmacologic approaches for different classes of aspiration pneumonia. Pneumonitis and bacterial infection require antibiotic therapy, while foreign body aspiration and mechanical obstruction may need invasive interventions.[1][2][3][4][5][6]
- Chemical pneumonitis must be treated supportively. Immediate clearing the respiratory tract from aspirated material and fluid by suction must be the first step if the diagnosis of aspiration is definite.
- Pharmacologic medical therapy for aspiration pneumonia includes antibiotics such as ampicillin-sulbactam, amoxicillin-clavulanate, or clindamycin for 7 days.
- Alternative regimens include combination of metronidazole with penicillin G, amoxicillin, ceftriaxone, or cefotaxime.
- Positive pressure ventilation with 100% oxygen to support pulmonary function is sometimes required.
