Whole‐Lung Lavage for Pediatric Patients With Pulmonary Alveolar Proteinosis

AORN Journal, 2013
AbstractPulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) is a chronic disorder of surfactant clearance from the alveoli. Its prevalence is rare, especially in the pediatric population. Although there is no cure for this condition, symptoms of PAP are managed most effectively through whole‐lung lavage (WLL). Perioperative RNs caring for children with PAP undergoing

Whole Lung Lavage under Hyperbaric Conditions: 2. Monitoring Tissue Oxygenation

1992
Pulmonary Alveolar Proteinosis (PAP) is characterized by dyspnea and progressive detoriation of arterial oxygenation, caused by accumulation of lipid- and protein-rich insoluble material in the alveoli. Bronchoalveolar lavage is the basic principle of treatment and can be performed while ventilating one lung.

Whole lung and sequential bronchoscopic lavage for pulmonary alveolar proteinosis

Current Opinion in Pulmonary Medicine
Purpose of review Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) is a diffuse lung disease that results from the accumulation of lipoproteinaceous material in the alveoli due to abnormal surfactant homeostasis. Since its introduction in the 1960s, whole lung lavage (WLL) has been the primary treatment for PAP. This review focuses on WLL,

Whole lung lavage in the treatment of pulmonary alveolar proteinosis

Journal of PeriAnesthesia Nursing, 2005
Although a rare condition, pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) can be a very devastating diagnosis with life-altering consequences. This case study follows the path of a young woman who is currently undergoing whole lung lavage as treatment for pulmonary alveolar proteinosis.

How We Do It: Whole Lung Lavage.

Sarcoidosis, vasculitis, and diffuse lung diseases : official journal of WASOG
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 lipoproteinaceous material from the alveolar spaces.
