==Medical therapy==
* Tracheal suction (observed aspiration). However, the initial lung injury can't be prevented as it occurs rapidly
===Supportive Pulmonary therapy===
* Positive pressure ventilation
* Intravenous fluids (high molecular weight colloid)
* [[Sodium nitroprusside]] infusion in the pulmonary artery
* Mechanical ventilation (if respiratory failure)
* Antimicrobial agents prophylactically for superimposed bacterial infection
* Use of steroids is controversial
