What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Non-Profit Prospective Observational Pilot Study The study will have an overall duration of 3 years, with patient enrollment starting after ethical committee approval. In this study, all patients with a diagnosis of aspiration pneumonia who require aspiration of secretions or ingesta in the Emergency Department will be considered. A registry will be created with the patients\' data, noting the type of procedure performed: laryngotracheal aspiration with a probe or with fibrobronchoscopy. This observational registry pilot study aims to evaluate the utility and adverse events related to the use of aspiration via videobronchoscopy performed in the Emergency Department and to compare the clinical outcomes of patients undergoing bronchoscopy with those treated only with blind laryngotracheal aspiration using a probe.
