Final answer:
NPO compliance reduces aspiration risk by ensuring an empty stomach, while rapid sequence induction minimizes the chance of aspiration during induction. Antacids may mitigate aspiration severity, and high FiO2 does not directly relate to aspiration risk.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question 'Anesthesia related RF for aspiration' refers to risk factors in anesthesia that could increase the likelihood of aspiration. The options given are: NPO compliance, rapid sequence induction, high FiO2 during induction, and antacid administration. Each option plays a different role in the context of anesthesia and aspiration risk:
- NPO compliance (nothing by mouth) decreases the risk as the stomach is more likely to be empty, reducing the content that could be aspirated.
- Rapid sequence induction is a technique used to secure the airway quickly in patients at risk of aspiration, to minimize the chance of aspiration occurring during the induction of anesthesia.
- High FiO2 (Fraction of Inspired Oxygen) settings are used to prevent hypoxia but do not directly affect the risk of aspiration.
- Administration of an antacid can reduce gastric acidity, thus potentially reducing the severity of pneumonitis should aspiration occur.
Therefore, in terms of direct risk factors for aspiration, lacking NPO compliance and not using rapid sequence induction when appropriate would be more significant. Antacid administration could modify the severity but is more of a mitigation strategy than a risk factor, and high FiO2 doesn't affect aspiration risk.
