Pulmonary Acid Aspiration Risks in Surgery by tiago is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The study investigates the prevalence of pulmonary acid aspiration syndrome in patients undergoing anesthesia, focusing on the effectiveness of sodium citrate as a prophylactic antacid. Results indicate that about 50% of both emergency and prepared patients had gastric contents with a pH suggesting a risk for acid aspiration, and sodium citrate was found to be ineffective. The authors recommend the use of Mist, magnesium trisilicate B.P. as a more effective alternative for preoperative antacid treatment.
