As you are assisting the patient, you notice signs of aspiration. Your immediate next steps should be: "Stop feeding the patient and immediately alert the patient's nurse."

<h3>What is Aspiration?</h3>

Food, liquids, saliva, or vomit are inhaled into the airways in this situation called Aspiration.

Surgery, being less aware owing to medicine or sickness, and consuming significant amounts of alcohol are all risk factors.

Suffocation or pneumonia can result from pulmonary aspiration.

  • Coughing,
  • trouble breathing, and, in certain cases,
  • choking,  are symptoms.

Treatments include keeping the airway open, constant observation, and medications if an infection develops.
