My four and a half month old english bulldog pup has just come down with his second case of aspiration pneumonia within the last 6 weeks. Both times it occurred after he threw up. These are the only times since I had the pup that he has thrown up (got him at 8 weeks old). Does anyone have any ideas on how to prevent this from occurring again? It is a big financial burden(about 2grand every incident) and other than these incidents he is a very healthy pup.
ve encountered a case in which a 5-day old puppy was brought in the clinic with hemoptysis, I concluded that it was aspiration pneumonia because the puppy was only been nursed by the owner... We immediately administered antibiotics and wasn't able to put on IV fluids due to the small size of the puppy, we tried administering oral fluids, but it doesn't work well.... after an hour, the puppy died and coughed a lot of blood....
ve been thinking about it the last couple of months and trying to understand what aspiration pneumonia is and how it caused his death. The vet explained to me that aspiration pneumonia is an infection that can feel like a chemical burn. What exactly causes death? Any insight would be appreciated. Thank you.
The symptoms of cough with wheezing and breathlessness more pronounced on left side could be due to more affection on left lung due to asthma, allergic bronchitis of left lung, left lung pneumonia (though this will also cause fever) and aspiration pneumonia. Aspiration pneumonia is seen in cases of severe GERD or gastric reflux where a part of the refluxed contents are aspirated by the lung. Left lung is more affected than right.
Aspiration is a common event. The aspiration can lead to bronchitis or pneumonia, often with cough and the cough may persist for a long time. Food is one type of foreign body that is aspirated. Only 20% of all objects aspirated are show up directly on chest x-ray, also called radio-opaque, and 40% will have a normal chest x-ray.
Hi Doctor, at lunch today I was taste testing my yellow rice to see if it was soft enough to finish a recipe and choked on a couple of pieces. I coughed and then made myself cough a number of times 'just in case', but am concerned it went into my lungs and might cause aspiration pneumonia.
I have no lung problems.
Aspiration pneumonia is a result of constant acid reflux into the stomach. You've probably haven't developed it yet, and you'll be probably fine, when you control your stomach infection, since this should stop your burping. Aspiration pneumonia can be only prevented, not really treated. Steroids maybe, but I guess, you don't have pneumonia already.
Pain/tingling of the upper abdomen or bottom right rib cage is a bit worrisome. It raises the question of possible pneumonia with pleurisy caused by the granola.
I strongly suggest that you see your doctor and have a Chest X-ray. The food may not be visible on a plain X-ray but one of your lungs, most likely the right lung may be overinflated. The radiologist would pick this up, especially if the X-ray request states that you have swallowed a foreign body.
Is it possible that aspiration pneumonia (oatmeal lodged in the trachea) can exacerbate COPD and/or asthma, thus causing the mild hyperinflation on an x-ray? The 70-yr-old patient is a former smoker (most of her life) and was found w/ an O2 sat of 40% that was a result of the bolus of food that the paramedics had to "force" a breathing tube through. Keep in mind, neither the amount of time that the oatmeal was lodged, nor the amount of time the O2 was low, cannot be verified.
I got a barrium swallow and it was normal so i assumed it was an anxiety issue, Then after I got the pneumonia i saw something on the internet about aspiration pneumonia and it scared me because I still feel lump in throat and nausea at times. Could I have aspirated something into my lungs? I am being treated for pneumonia but I dont know what type. cant get a hold of dr because of holiday.
Some people with (I think more advanced) ms get what's called "aspiration pneumonia". It comes from swallowing difficulties.
Another reason for pneumonia is acid reflux, believe it or not. That's what happens to me. The acid has actually gotten into my lungs (? how was never thoroughly explained), and so my lungs are scarred up- and more likely to become infected.
From your description, you have severe gastro-esophageal reflux and, yes, this could well be the cause of recurrent pneumonia; a type of pneumonia called aspiration pneumonia. The reflux could also be the cause of what your doctors have diagnosed as “asthmatic bronchitis”, bronchitis with wheezing secondary to the aspiration of stomach contents into your bronchial tubes.
In the last phase symptoms start again and may mimic a COPD with cough and wheezes, or pneumonia like symptoms may appear or the person may become progressively breathless. Foreign bodies very rarely reach the alveoli and if they do they cause asthma like symptoms. Hope this helps. Take care!
The medical advice given should not be considered a substitute for medical care provided by a doctor who can examine you.
The signs and symptoms you describe are cause for concern, including the breathing problems, the pneumonia that has not cleared, your weight loss and stomach problems, bone pain and shrinking height. The last 2 could simply be due to osteoporosis but could also be symptoms of other bone diseases.
The first step should be the CT scan to assess the "white spot"; then whatever other studies might be required to make a diagnosis of that and your pneumonia. A biopsy might be needed.
Cold water would not have caused enough of a shock to cause a problem. Aspiration pneumonia is also unlikely.
ve read on your boards that aspirated food often needs to be removed by bronchcoscopy. But what if the bronchcoscopy is negative, yet the patient still has symptoms? Several months ago I aspirated large piece of apple peel, which is still stuck in my windpipe and very uncomfortable. (But no pneumonia, yet). It took four months to see the ENT specialist and then he couldn't find anything.
