fausse déglutition

French to English Medical Medical: Pharmaceuticals Letter reporting a death
I'm fine with "déglutition" - it's "fausse" that has me stumped here, could it be translated as "problematic"? or 'difficulties"?

Here's the rest of the text, for ref....

here is the full quote:
Dégager la voie aérienne d'un corps étranger, inhalé par inadvertance, lors de ce que l'on appelle communément "une fausse route" ou "fausse déglutition" ou encore "avaler de travers". Il s'agit du passage dans la voie aérienne, normalement fermée au moment de la déglutition, d'un aliment ou d'un autre corps étranger séjournant temporairement dans la bouche. La nature des objets inhalés par inadvertance est extrêmement variée et va de la cacahuète (notamment chez les enfants en bas âge) jusqu'aux morceaux de viande, jouets ou instruments de dentisterie.Le corps étranger inhalé peut provoquer une toux extrêmement intense et un épisode de suffocation. La toux arrive parfois à dégager l'objet (qui est donc recraché par la bouche ou avalé secondairement) mais, le plus souvent, l'objet reste retenu dans la voie aérienne où il provoque une réaction inflammatoire avec risque de complication infectieuse et d'obstruction complète de la voie aérienne ainsi que d'asphyxie ou de collapsus pulmonaire, selon que l'objet se trouve dans la trachée ou le larynx.

Complications
You might occasionally experience “food going down the wrong way” after breathing food into your respiratory tract, which is called aspiration. Some medical conditions cause problems with swallowing. People with dysphagia have problems swallowing and might experience pain or the aspiration of food into the larynx, lungs and windpipe. Food can become stuck in the respiratory tract and cause breathing difficulties and choking. Aspiration of food can lead to aspiration pneumonia, which can damage to the lungs and cause blockage, infection and swelling. Inflammation of the epiglottis,

What is aspiration?
Aspiration occurs whenever secretions, food or liquid goes down "the wrong pipe” and enters the airway or lungs. This often results in coughing or choking sensation. However, many individuals who aspirate do not sense the material going the wrong way. Aspirating material into the lungs may lead to pulmonary problems such as pneumonia.

neutral Drmanu49 : Fausse route is not mentioned but in any case, it would come under swallowing disorders or dysphagia.//my suggestion maybe not LOL but dysphagia certainly so!

Yes, but my suggestion is backed up by the evidence, i.e. "aspiration" provokes a severe asthma attack.pneumonie de fausse déglutition = aspiration pneumonia
neutral Frank Foley : You and the Doc are both right, as the term occurs twice, in fact.

Thank you Nikki.
neutral Frank Foley : Not in this context: the patient here had a specific accident, i.e. "FAIT une fausse déglutition". My apologies: the term is mentioned twice! Once as a "condition", and once as a "medical accident", so you're at least half right! :-)

I know I am right especially since fausse route is only one of the disorders in dysphagia that can cause a bout of asthma.

Also, from the same source (p.383), specifically on Parkinson's disease in the same chapter on 'The anatomy and phsyiology of swallowing'.

"While the prognosis for dysphagic stroke clients might might appear to be reasonably good, in most cases of neurodegenerative disease, dysphagia is an almost inevitable consequence. In many cases, penumonia is the actual cause of death, possibly as a result of complications following aspiration of foddstuffs.
... As the disease progresses, the incidence of dysphagia rises rapidaly to 90 percent. However, subglotic aspiration only occurs in the later, more severe stages of the disease...."
