AbstractAspiration bronchopneumonia occurs in most patients undergoing prolonged mechanical ventilation. These pneumonias adversely affect lung function and release bacteria into the systemic circulation via the lungs' lymphatics. Through this mechanism, clinically occult pneumonias may initiate activation of systemic inflammation, leading to the syndrome of multiple organ failure.
