Whole lung lavage: considerations from the anesthesiology perspective

Current Opinion in Pulmonary Medicine
Purpose of review Whole lung lavage (WLL) remains the standard treatment for pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP). The procedure involves meticulous preparation, including a multidisciplinary team and appropriate facilities, to ensure patient safety and procedural success.

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,
