The benefits of whole lung lavage in pulmonary alveolar proteinosis.
Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) is an interesting, rare and enigmatic disease, which was first described relatively recently in 1958 [1]. The affected individuals suffer a progressive accumulation of lipoproteins in the alveolar space, resulting in steadily worsening gas exchange, and culminating in death from hypoxia and or cor pulmonale. Even though the alveolar space is full of Periodic...
متن کاملWhole Lung Lavage under General Anesthesia in A Child with Pulmonary Alveolar Proteinosis (A Case Report)
Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) is a rare disease in which surfactant accumulates abnormally in the pulmonary alveolar walls and causes respiratory symptoms. The only known effective treatment for PAP is pulmonary lavage. We have reported an 11year-old girl with pulmonary alveolar proteinosis who underwent pulmonary lavage with normal saline under general anesthesia by a new method (using ...
متن کاملPulmonary alveolar proteinosis treatment by whole-lung lavage
Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) is a rare condition which is characterised by the abnormal accumulation of proteinaceous material in the alveolar spaces, with resulting impairment in oxygen exchange across the involved alveoli. The diagnosis of PAP can be established by the classic ‘milky’ effluent bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF). The current effective treatment for PAP is whole-lung l...
متن کاملWhole Lung Lavage of Nine Children with Pulmonary Alveolar Proteinosis: Experience in a Tertiary Lung Center
BACKGROUND Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) is a rare disease in children, characterized by intra-alveolar accumulation of large amounts of surfactant proteins, which severely reduce gas exchange. Whole lung lavage (WLL) is the preferred technique for the treatment of severe PAP. CASE PRESENTATION This report presents nine pediatric cases with advanced PAP who underwent WLL under general ...
متن کاملWhole Lung Lavage in a Pulmonary Alveolar Proteinosis Patient with Severe Respiratory Failure.
Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) is a rare interstitial lung disease that develops as a result of defects in the clearance of surfactant by alveolar macrophages. The accumulation of lipid- and protein-rich substances in the alveoli constitutes the main pathology of this disease. PAP has three types of aetiology: autoimmune (primary), congenital and secondary. The most common form in adults ...
