Abstract
ObjectiveTo provide recommendations for a comprehensive management approach for infants and children presenting with symptoms or signs of aspiration.

To develop the definition of “intractable aspiration,” each author was first asked to define the condition. Second, each author was asked to complete a 5-point Likert scale to specify the level of agreement with the definition derived in the first step. ResultsRecommendations by the authors regarding the clinical presentation, diagnostic considerations, and medical and surgical management options for aspiration in children. ConclusionApproach to pediatric aspiration is best achieved by implementing a multidisciplinary approach with a comprehensive investigation strategy and different treatment options.
