Question

meaning of aspiration.....?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Aspiration is when something you swallow "goes down the wrong way" and enters your airway or lungs. It can also happen when something goes back into your throat from your stomach. But your airway isn't completely blocked, unlike with choking. People who have a hard time swallowing are more likely to aspirate.

Answer 2

A condition in which food, liquids , saliva or vomit is breathed into the airways .

Risk factors include surgery, being less alert due to medication or illness and drinking large amount of alcohol. Pulmonary aspiration may lead pneumonia or death by suffocation.
