Aspiration Pneumonia
Juga dikenal sebagai: Aspiration pneumonitis
Singkatnya
Aspiration pneumonia is a serious, life-threatening lung infection in dogs and cats caused by inhaling foreign material like food or stomach acid. Learn the symptoms, risk factors, and treatment options.
TL;DR. Infeksi paru serius setelah menghirup makanan, muntah, atau asam lambung; perawatan segera.
Bahan asing melewati laring dan meradangkan paru dengan parah.
Apa itu?
Chemical pneumonitis plus often bacterial pneumonia after inhaling food, vomit, or gastric acid. Airway protection fails (GI disease, neurology, larynx, anesthesia).
Penyebab dan faktor risiko
Almost always secondary. GI disorders >60% (megaesophagus ~26% leading). Neurologic ~18%, laryngeal ~13%; often multiple factors including recent anesthesia. Periodontal disease raises bacterial load.
Tanda yang perlu diperhatikan
- Cough, respiratory distress, lethargy, fever, hypoxemia, crackles (common)
- Cyanosis, collapse, regurgitation, shock (occasional)
Postur ortopnea: leher terjulur memudahkan pernapasan.
Bagaimana dokter hewan mendiagnosis
Auscultation (may be normal), thoracic radiographs (often right middle lobe), SpO₂, arterial blood gas, tracheal wash/culture, bronchoscopy if needed.
Pilihan pengobatan
Oxygen, IV fluids. Broad-spectrum antibiotics culture-guided. Glucocorticoids only with extreme caution for pure chemical pneumonitis. Nebulization and coupage when stable.
Prognosis
Favorable with early aggressive care (survival ~77–82% in referral settings); worse with ARDS/ventilation. Recurrence if cause uncontrolled.
Pencegahan
Megaesophagus: upright feeding. Pre-anesthetic fasting. Dental care. Investigate vomiting/regurgitation early.
Kapan menghubungi dokter hewan
Grade-5 emergency: severe dyspnea, moist cough, blue mucous membranes, collapse, fever with apathy.
