Abstract

Aspiration pneumonia is a clinical entity with important ethical considerations. It is imperative for clinicians to understand these considerations to best provide counsel to patients and their families, allowing them to make fully informed decisions. Given that aspiration pneumonia is frequently associated with end of life, there are palliative medicine principles that may help in the treatment of this disease.
