In case material is found in the trachea or bronchi in lung autopsy:
During autopsy
- Compare the material to what is found in the ventricle, suggesting aspiration.
- Check if the linings of the trachea and bronchi is inflamed. Non-inflamed linings suggests postmortem aspiration.
Microscopic evaluation
Foreign material in bronchioles but not in alveoli in a patient who has received CPR suggests a post-CRP finding rather than a primary cause of death.
