Overview
Aspiration pneumonia is a part of aspiration syndrome which is consist of four classes depending on nature of aspirated substance.
Aspiration syndrome:
It consist of all disorders of respiratory tree due to inhalation of any substance that damages lungs.
Following are the four classes of aspiration syndrome:
| Classes | Substance involved | Risk factor | Mechanism of damdage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Forgiven body aspiration pneumonia | Foreign body | childhood | traumatic |
| Aspiration Pneumonitis | Gastric contents, | decreased level of consiousness | corrosive effect of acid on respiratory tract |
| Aspiration pneumonia | Oral cavity bacterial flora (CAP) | dysphagia, elderly age | similar to community acquired pneumonia |
| Diffuse aspiration bronchiolitis | Oral cavity bacterial flora | dysphagia, elderly age | similar to atypical bacterial infection of lungs |
| Lipid pneumonia | oil | childhood | macrophages engulf lipid substances lining pulmonary tree |
