Fatal aspiration (Mendelson's) syndrome despite antacids and cricoid pressure.

J S Robinson, J M Thompson.   

Abstract

Two patients died after inhalation of gastric contents during general anaesthesia for caesarean section. Both had received antacid therapy before surgery and their stomachs contained large volumes of fluid. Failure to empty the stomach preoperatively may have been a major contributory cause of these deaths.
