Lung injury induced by different negative suction pressure in patients with pneumoconiosis undergoing whole lung lavage [PDF]

BMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2022
Background Pneumoconiosis is a diffuse interstitial fibronodular lung disease, which is caused by the inhalation of crystalline silica. Whole lung lavage (WLL) is a therapeutic procedure used to treat pneumoconiosis.

A mini-whole lung lavage to treat autoimmune pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) [PDF]

Respiratory Research, 2022
Background PAP is an ultra-rare respiratory syndrome characterized by the accumulation of surfactant within the alveoli. Whole lung lavage (WLL) is the current standard of care of PAP, however it is not a standardized procedure and the total amount of ...

Dilutional acidosis during whole lung lavage under general anesthesia due to excessive absorption of normal saline [PDF]

JA Clinical Reports, 2022
Background Whole lung lavage (WLL) is an effective therapy for pulmonary alveolar proteinosis. We report a rare dilutional acidosis following WLL in a female patient. Case presentation Under general anesthesia, a left-sided double-lumen tube was inserted

Whole-lung lavage in a patient with pulmonary alveolar proteinosis. [PDF]

Ann Card Anaesth, 2018
Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) is a rare syndrome in which phospholipoproteinaceous matter accumulates in the alveoli leading to compromised gas exchange. Whole-lung lavage is considered the gold standard for severe autoimmune PAP and offers favorable long-term outcomes. In this case report, we describe the perioperative management and procedural
