Bronchoscopy
If you experience aspiration pneumonia, which happens when you inhale or choke on a small object, then a bronchoscopy might be needed. The main goal of this method is to remove the object out of your lungs. To do this, your doctor might place a small scope in your lungs via the mouth or nose. In some cases, a medication might be taken to numb your airways, mouth, and nose. Also, general anesthesia would be used to help you stay calm during this process. [9]
