title: [A follow up of pulmonary function after Mendelson's syndrome (author's transl)].
abstract: A follow up of pulmonary function has been performed on three patients having recovered from Mendelson's syndrome (between 1 and 70 months). In the 3 patients a syndrome of diffuse interstitial pulmonary fibrosis was observed. These perturbations disappeared relatively quickly. They were compatible with pulmonary oedema due to the disappearance of surfactant, consecutive to acid inhalation.
