Whole-Lung Lavage for Pulmonary Alveolar Proteinosis

Chest, 2009
Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) is a disease characterized by the deposition of amorphous lipoproteinaceous material in the alveoli secondary to abnormal processing of surfactant by macrophages. Whole-lung lavage often is performed as the first line of treatment for this disease because it is a means to wash out the proteinaceous material from the

Whole-Lung Lavage—a Narrative Review of Anesthetic Management

Journal of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Anesthesia, 2022
Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis is a rare disease characterized by progressive accumulation of lipoprotein material in the alveoli as a result of a dysfunction in surfactant clearance. The whole-lung lavage procedure is considered the current standard of care and consists of the sequential lavage of both lungs for mechanical removal of residual material
