Noun
/ˌæspəˈreɪʃən ˌnjuːməˈnaɪtɪs/
Aspiration pneumonitis is a condition that occurs when foreign material, such as food, liquid, or vomit, is inhaled into the lungs, leading to inflammation and respiratory distress. This condition is often associated with choking, dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), or unconsciousness. The word is primarily used in medical contexts, such as healthcare discussions, research papers, and patient reports. It is relatively more common in written form, especially in medical literature, than in casual oral speech.
