A complicated case of whole-lung lavage: a case report [PDF]

Frontiers in Medicine, 2023
IntroductionWe report a life-threatening case of severe respiratory failure due to a pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) secondary to lysinuric protein intolerance (LPI), complicated by a pre-existing right pneumothorax, which we treated using a rescue ...

Whole lung lavage: Treating pulmonary alveolar proteinosis at the time of COVID pandemic [PDF]

Respiratory Medicine Case Reports, 2022
Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) is a rare syndrome due to increased production or decreased clearance of surfactant in alveoli and terminal bronchi that cause hypoxemic respiratory insufficiency.

Correction: Anesthetic Challenges During Whole Lung Lavage: A Case Report. [PDF]

Cureus, 2023
Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis is an uncommon lung disease characterized by the accumulation of surfactant in the lungs. Treatment is done by whole lung lavage. One-lung ventilation in diseased lungs is a challenge to anesthesiologists due to the rapid desaturation and hemodynamic fluctuations encountered during the procedure.

Whole lung lavage in the setting of exogenous lipoid pneumonia [PDF]

Respiratory Medicine Case Reports
Introduction: Lipoid pneumonia results from lipid deposition in the lungs, arising either exogenously or endogenously. Exogenous lipoid pneumonia occurs from aspiration or use of oil-based products such as mineral oil or nasal topicals.

How We Do It: Whole Lung Lavage. [PDF]

Sarcoidosis Vasc Diffuse Lung Dis, 2022
Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) is a rare pulmonary disorder characterized by the accumulation of surfactant in the alveolar spaces resulting in hypoxemic respiratory failure. Whole lung lavage (WLL), the preferred treatment for PAP, physically removes the lipo-proteinaceous material from the alveolar spaces. Since its initial description in 1963,
