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
