- Aspiration syndrome consists of four classes depending on nature of aspirated substance. Following are the four classes of aspiration syndrome:[1][2]
| Classification of aspiration syndrome | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Classes | Substance involved | Risk factor | Mechanism of damdage |
| Mechanical obstruction | Foreign body | Childhood | Traumatic |
| Chemical pneumonitis | Gastric contents | Decreased level of consciousness | Corrosive effect of acid on respiratory tract |
| Bacterial infection | Oral cavity bacterial flora | Dysphagia, elderly age | Similar to community acquired pneumonia |
| Lipid pneumonia | Oil | Childhood | Macrophages engulf lipid substances lining pulmonary tree |
