Abstract
A case of acid aspiration pneumonitis which occurred in the puerperium is described. Gastric aspirate was collected in fifty patients undergoing postpartum sterilisation. Results of pH and volume suggest these patients should be regarded as potential candidates at risk of developing Mendelson's syndrome.Keywords
