Abstract:
Five patients with pulmonary alveolar proteinosis admitted to Taihe hospital from 2006 to 2008, were treated by whole lung lavage under intravenous anesthesia, the clinical data were collected and analyzed retrospectively. The patients were followed up for 2 to 20 months, and their symptoms and pulmonary function were improved significantly after lung lavage treatment. Our experiences showed that lung lavage with intravenous anesthesia is the most effective treatment for pulmonary alveolar proteinosis.
