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

Whole Lung Lavage

Anesthesiology Clinics of North America, 2001
After more than 35 years of evolution, whole lung lavage is an efficient and safe technique. Furthermore, it can be a pleasant experience because it consists of performing general anesthesia without a surgeon being in the operating room. Whole lung lavage can be adapted to many patients and diseases; however, more research must be done to confirm the ...

Whole-Lung Lavage in Alveolar Proteinosis by a Modified Lavage Technique

Chest, 1998
Whole-lung lavage is the only efficient treatment in pulmonary alveolar proteinosis. A 36-year-old woman with severe pulmonary alveolar proteinosis confirmed by video-assisted thoracoscopic lung biopsies underwent repetitive whole-lung lavages without improvement. A modified technique consisting of manual ventilation between instillation and aspiration

Treatment of Acute Silicoproteinosis by Whole-Lung Lavage

Seminars in Cardiothoracic and Vascular Anesthesia, 2013
Acute silicoproteinosis is a rare disease that occurs following a heavy inhalational exposure to silica dusts. Clinically, it resembles pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP); silica exposure is thought to be a cause of secondary PAP. We describe a patient with biopsy-confirmed acute silicoproteinosis whose course was complicated by acute hypoxemic ...

Reduction of Lung Dust Burden in Pneumoconiosis by Whole-Lung Lavage

Journal of Occupational & Environmental Medicine, 1996
Pneumoconioses are characterized as irreversible, progressive respiratory diseases. No effective therapy exists to prevent progression of these diseases. Whole-lung lavage (WLL) might limit the rate of disease progression through the removal of dust, inflammatory cells, and cytokines.

Therapeutic whole lung lavage for inhaled plutonium oxide revisited

Journal of Radiological Protection, 2010
Two reviews in the last 12 years have differed widely in their indications for the use of whole lung lavage (WLL) to remove plutonium from the lung, one recommending its use at relatively low radiation doses to prevent stochastic effects and the other recommending restricting its use to high doses to prevent deterministic effects only.

Whole-Lung Lavage

2012
Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) is a disease characterized by the accumulation of amorphous lipoproteinaceous material in the alveoli. Whole-lung lavage (WLL) is the first line of treatment for patients symptomatic from PAP. The procedure involves intubating the patient with a double-lumen endotracheal tube to isolate the two lungs, ventilating ...

[Establishment of transbronchoscope whole lung lavage and its comparison with bronchoalveolar lavage and whole lung lavage].

Zhonghua lao dong wei sheng zhi ye bing za zhi = Zhonghua laodong weisheng zhiyebing zazhi = Chinese journal of industrial hygiene and occupational diseases, 2016
To establish the technical specifications of transbronchoscope whole lung lavage (TBWLL) and to compare the clinical efficacy between TBWLL and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) or whole lung lavage (WLL).A total of 133 patients with pneumoconiosis admitted to Hunan Prevention and Treatment Institute for Occupational Diseases from 2009 to 2014 were divided ...
