AB Pulmonary  aspiration,  an  uncommon  occurrence  in  nonemergency  airway  management,  may  lead  to  a  spectrum  of  sequelae,  from  no  discernable  effects  to  significant  morbidity  and  mortality.  In  this  chapter,  we  will  outline  the  known  factors  that  increase  the  risks  of  aspiration  and  how  airway  management  may  be  optimized  to  reduce  the  risks  to  the  patient.
