| description | Aspiration pneumonia is of great concern in the elderly population, often leading to severe respiratory compromise necessitating ventilator support. This case report highlights the critical care and anesthetic management of a geriatric patient with an intertrochanteric fracture presenting with aspiration pneumonia undergoing orthopedic surgery. The patient’s clinical presentation and application of therapeutic bronchoalveolar lavage as a novel intervention are discussed. The report outlines the critical care and perioperative management strategies employed to ensure optimal outcomes in this challenging clinical scenario. |
