Aspiration pneumonia is bronchopneumonia that develops due to the entrance of foreign materials that enter the bronchial tree, usually oral or gastric contents (including food, saliva, or nasal secretions). The International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (most commonly known by the abbreviation ICD) provides codes to classify Diseases The International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems 10th Revision ( ICD -10) is a coding of diseases and signs symptoms abnormal findings J00-J99 - Diseases of the respiratory system (J00-J06 Acute upper respiratory infections ( Acute Nasopharyngitis ( Common cold) P00-P96 - Certain conditions originating in the Perinatal period (P00-P04 Fetus and newborn affected by maternal factors and by complications of pregnancy labour and The International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (most commonly known by the abbreviation ICD) provides codes to classify Diseases The following is a list of codes for International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems.

Causes
Aspiration pneumonia is often caused by an incompetent swallowing mechanism, such as occurs in some forms of neurological disease (a common cause being strokes) or while a person is intoxicated. Swallowing, known scientifically as deglutition is the process in the human or animal body that makes something pass from the Mouth, to the Pharynx, into A stroke is the rapidly developing loss of brain functions due to a disturbance in the blood vessels supplying blood to the brain Drunkenness or inebriation is the state of being intoxicated by consumption of Alcoholic beverages to a degree that mental and physical faculties are noticeably An iatrogenic cause is during general anaesthesia for an operation and patients are therefore instructed to be nil per os (NPO) for at least four hours before surgery. The terms iatrogenesis and iatrogenic artifact refer to adverse effects or complications caused by or resulting from medical treatment or advice In modern medical practice general anaesthesia ( AmE: anesthesia) is a state of total unconsciousness resulting from General anaesthetic drugs Surgery (from the χειρουργική cheirourgikē, via chirurgiae meaning "hand work" is a medical specialty that uses operative manual and instrumental Nil per os (also /Nihil/Non/Nulla Per Orem (NPO is Latin for a medical instruction meaning to withhold oral food and fluids from a patient for various reasons (verbatim it
Whether aspiration pneumonia represents a true bacterial infection or a chemical inflammatory process remains the subject of significant controversy. Both causes may present with similar symptoms.

The location is often gravity dependent, and depends on the patient position. Pneumonia is an inflammatory illness of the Lung. Frequently it is described as lung Parenchyma / alveolar inflammation and abnormal See Pneumonia for a general overview of pneumonia and its other causes Viral pneumonia is an Inflammation of the Lung caused by a Virus. Fungal pneumonia is an Infection of the Lungs by fungi. It can be caused by either endemic or opportunistic fungi or a combination Parasitic pneumonia is an infection of the lungs by Parasites It is a rare cause of Pneumonia, occurring almost exclusively in immunocompromised persons Atypical pneumonia is a term used to describe a form of Pneumonia not caused by one of the more traditional pathogens Community-acquired pneumonia ( CAP) is a Disease in which individuals who have not recently been Hospitalized develop an Infection of the In Medicine, healthcare-associated pneumonia (HCAP is a novel category of Pneumonia in patients with recent close contact with the health care system Hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP or Nosocomial pneumonia refers to any Pneumonia contracted within 48-72 hours of being admitted in hospital Ventilator-associated pneumonia ( VAP) is a sub-type of Hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP which occurs in people who are on Mechanical ventilation through Lipid pneumonia or lipoid pneumonia is a specific form of lung inflammation ( Pneumonia) that develops when Lipids enter the bronchial tree Eosinophilic pneumonia ( EP) is a Disease in which a certain type of White blood cell called an Eosinophil accumulates in the Lung. Bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia ( BOOP) is an Inflammation of the Bronchioles and surrounding tissue in the Lungs BOOP is often caused Chemical pneumonitis is inflammation of the lung caused by irritation from aspirated Vomitus or barium used in gastro-intestinal imaging ingested Gasoline or Generally the right middle and lower lung lobes are the most common sites of infiltrate formation due to the larger caliber and more vertical orientation of the right mainstem bronchus. Patients who aspirate while standing can have bilateral lower lung lobe infiltrates. The right upper lobe is a common area of consolidation in alcoholics who aspirate in the prone position. [1] Depending on the acidity of the aspirate, a chemical pneumonitis can develop, and bacterial pathogens (particularly anaerobic bacteria) may add to the inflammation. An anaerobic organism is any Organism that does not require Oxygen for growth and may even die in its presence
