Pulmonary aspiration of gastric contents is a very rare but one of the most feared complications of anesthesia. The risk factors are gastroesophageal reflux, previous aspiration, renal failure, difficult intubation and trauma. The incidence of aspiration during anesthesia of children has been reported to be more common than adults. This report describes the case of a 7-year-old female patient who had experienced pulmonary aspiration during induction of anesthesia. With fiberoptic brochoscopy, the aspirates in both bronchi were carefully suctioned, and the following chest X-ray and blood gas findings improved. She was transferred to the intensive care unit for respiratory support and showed no further problems.
