Abstract
Autoimmune pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) is characterized by antibodies to granulocyte–macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), alveolar macrophage dysfunction, and surfactant accumulation. Whole lung lavage (WLL) is the treatment of choice in patients with PAP and severe hypoxemia. In resource-limited settings, WLL can be performed in the intubated, anesthetized patient who is being one lung ventilated using a Y-type bladder irrigation catheter for saline instillation and drainage.
自身免疫性肺泡蛋白沉积症(PAP)的特征是粒细胞-巨噬细胞集落刺激因子(GM-CSF)抗体、肺泡巨噬细胞功能障碍和表面活性物质积聚。全肺灌洗(WLL)是治疗 PAP 和严重低氧血症患者的首选方法。在资源有限的情况下,全肺灌洗可在插管麻醉的单肺通气患者中进行,使用 Y 型膀胱灌注导管进行生理盐水的灌注和引流。
期刊介绍:
Clinical Case Reports is different from other case report journals. Our aim is to directly improve global health and increase clinical understanding using case reports to convey important best practice information. We welcome case reports from all areas of Medicine, Nursing, Dentistry, and Veterinary Science and may include: -Any clinical case or procedure which illustrates an important best practice teaching message -Any clinical case or procedure which illustrates the appropriate use of an important clinical guideline or systematic review. As well as: -The management of novel or very uncommon diseases -A common disease presenting in an uncommon way -An uncommon disease masquerading as something more common -Cases which expand understanding of disease pathogenesis -Cases where the teaching point is based on an error -Cases which allow us to re-think established medical lore -Unreported adverse effects of interventions (drug, procedural, or other).
