AB  - Pulmonary  aspiration  can  cause  significant  morbidity  and  mortality  to  affected  patients.  It  is  the  anesthesiologist’s  responsibility  to  assess  a  patient’s  risk  for  aspiration  and  determine  the  best  anesthetic  plan  for  the  patient  to  minimize  the  occurrence  and  severity  of  pulmonary  aspiration.  The  anesthesiologist  should  control  gastric  contents  by  minimizing  intake  of  the  patient  and  observing  the  nil  per  os  (NPO)  guidelines.  When  indicated,  enhancing  gastric  emptying  and  decreasing  volume,  and  increasing  pH  of  gastric  contents  should  also  be  incorporated  into  the  anesthetic  plan.  In  addition,  rapid  sequence  induction  and  intubation  should  also  be  considered  in  the  anesthetic  plan  for  those  with  a  full  stomach  status.
