What happens when we can’t stop aspiration?

In this episode, Eva and Emily talk about chronic aspiration and what happens when small, repeated events start to add up. From inflammation and airway damage to serious complications like pneumonitis and lung abscess, we break down what’s really happening in the lungs.

We also connect the research to real clinical practice—what this means for your patients, how to approach treatment, and why oral care will forever be in the mix when talking about aspiration.
