Yes, aspiration can be life-threatening. It occurs when foreign materials, such as food or liquid, enter the airway and lungs instead of the esophagus, leading to choking, infection, or aspiration pneumonia. In severe cases, this can result in respiratory distress, lung damage, or even death. Immediate medical attention is crucial if aspiration is suspected.
