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.
