1. Introduction Pulmonary aspiration of gastric contents represents a complication in approximately 0.02–0.1% of elective pediatric surgeries [1]. This condition generally leads to anesthesia induction in patients with co-existing health issues or emergency surgery and often arises during tracheal extubation and recovery [2,3,4,5,6,7,8]. This can subsequently result in hypoxia, pneumonia, and extension of the mechanical ventilation requirements [9].
