Aspiration pneumonia is a significant cause of morbidity, hospitalization, and mortality in the nursing home population. Patients who aspirate have three times higher mortality than patients who do not aspirate. We discuss the factors known to increase the risk of aspiration and its consequences, and recognize some of the preventive measures for aspiration pneumonia. We suggest approaches to decrease the risk of this very prevalent syndrome.
吸入性肺炎是疗养院人群发病、住院和死亡的重要原因。发生误吸的患者死亡率比未发生误吸的患者高出两倍。我们讨论了已知会增加误吸风险及其后果的因素，并认识到一些预防吸入性肺炎的措施。我们提出了降低这种非常普遍综合征风险的方法。
