Abstract
Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) is a rare syndrome in which phospholipoproteinaceous matter accumulates in the alveoli leading to compromised gas exchange. Whole-lung lavage is considered the gold standard for severe autoimmune PAP and offers favorable long-term outcomes. In this case report, we describe the perioperative management and procedural specifics of a patient undergoing WLL for PAP in which an anesthesiologist serves as the proceduralist and a separate anesthesiologist provides anesthesia care for the patient.

Abstract
Ultrasound-guided transthoracic needle biopsy (USgTTNB) can only be used for peripheral tumours that contact the pleura. Sonographic accessibility of the entire lung can be achieved using one-lung flooding. In this study, feasibility, sensitivity and complication rate of USgTTNB of lung nodules after one-lung flooding in an ex vivo and in vivo lung tumour model were assessed. USgTTNB was performed ex vivo after one-lung flooding in 10 resected human lung lobes containing carcinoma or metastasis. USgTTNB after one-lung flooding and simulation of a lung nodule was conducted in vivo in 5 animals. Transthoracic sonography and chest X-ray were obtained 30 min after reventilation. The lungs were examined macroscopically and histopathologically. The pathologic diagnosis was confirmed in 85.7% and 100% of tumours after first and second puncture attempts, respectively. The successful puncture rate in vivo was 90%. Neither pneumothorax nor bleeding was observed. One-lung flooding enables USgTTNB of lung nodules with a high sensitivity and minimal risk of complications in a pre-clinical model.

Abstract
Autoimmune pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (aPAP) is a rare parenchymal lung disease characterized by accumulation of surfactant in the airways with high levels of granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) antibodies in blood. Disease leads to hypoxemic respiratory failure. Whole lung lavage (WLL) is considered the first line therapy, but procedure can be quite demanding, specifically for children. Recently alternative treatment options with inhaled GM-CSF have been described but no consensus about the standard treatment exists. We here describe a unique case of a 14-year-old patient who was successfully treated with WLL and subsequent inhalations with molgramostim – new recombinant human GM-CSF (rhGM-CSF).

Abstract
Background Whole lung lavage is the current standard therapy for pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) that is characterized by the alveolar accumulation of surfactant. Rituximab showed promising results in auto-immune PAP (aPAP) related to anti-GM-CSF antibody. Methods We aimed to assess efficacy of rituximab in aPAP in real life and all patients with aPAP in France that received rituximab were retrospectively analyzed. Results Thirteen patients were included. No patients showed improvement 6 months after treatment, but, 4 patients (30%) presented a significant decrease of alveolar-arterial difference in oxygen after 1 year. One patient received lung transplantation and one patient was lost of follow-up within one year. Although a spontaneous improvement cannot be excluded in these 4 patients, improvement was more frequent in patients naïve to prior specific therapy and with higher level of anti-GM-CSF antibodies evaluated by ELISA. No serious adverse event was evidenced. Conclusions These data do not support rituximab as a second line therapy for patients with refractory aPAP.

Abstract
Whole lung lavage (WLL) under general anesthesia with a double-lumen endobronchial intubation has remained standard treatment option for pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) for over fifty years now. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first description of noninvasive ventilation (NIV) as an innovative alternative, which enables safe and effective treatment. NIV support enabled cost-effective lavage of the most affected segments and resulted in restoration and long-term maintenance of exercise capacity and diffusion, without WLL related hypoxaemia, volume overload, intubation, or mechanical ventilation related complications. The study presents all details of performed procedure, including anesthesia, NIV technique and bronchoscopy, therefore this may be easily implemented into clinical practice at other centers conducting PAP treatment. We assume that presented technique of therapeutic lung lavage (TLL) with NIV support may be considered a novel PAP treatment method, however, target population who will benefit the most from such therapy modification must be assessed in large scale prospective trials.

Abstract
Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) is a diffuse lung disease that results from the accumulation of lipoproteinaceous material in the alveoli and alveolar macrophages due to abnormal surfactant homoeostasis. Identification of the granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) as an indispensable mediator of macrophage maturation and surfactant catabolism was the key discovery leading to the current understanding of the pathogenesis of most forms of PAP. Impaired GM-CSF bioavailability due to anti-GM-CSF autoimmunity is the cause of approximately 90% of adult PAP cases. Abnormal macrophage function due to endogenous or exogenous triggers, GM-CSF receptor defects, and other genetic abnormalities of surfactant production account for the remainder of causes. The usual physiological consequence of PAP is impairment of gas exchange, which can lead to dyspnoea, hypoxaemia, or even respiratory failure and death. Pulmonary fibrosis occurs occasionally in patients with PAP. For patients with moderate to severe disease, whole lung lavage is still the first-line treatment of choice. Supplemental GM-CSF is also useful, but details about indications, choice of agent, and dosing remain unclear. Other therapies, including rituximab, plasmapheresis, and lung transplantation have been described but should be reserved for refractory cases.

Abstract
Background: Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) is a rare interstitial lung disease classified into congenital form, autoimmune form and secondary form. Secondary PAP is caused by underlying conditions including solid malignancies. Few cases reported PAP associated with lung cancers. Objective: To show the clinical features of PAP with adenocarcinom, tried to seek for possible mechanism to explain whole clinical course. Methods: Reported a case of PAP associated with lung adenocarcinom, and also reviewed the relevant literature on PAP. Results: The patient suffered from intermittent cough, fever, shortness of breath, thoracalgia or hemoptysis. Blood gas analysis showed hyoxemia. Spirometric abnormality is mildly restrictive defect. High-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) showed patchy, ground-glass opacities with interlobular septal thickening called as “crazy-paving” pattern. Positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) revealed a nodule with characteristics of lobulation and spiculation in the right lung apex section and diffuse consolidation shadow spreading over rest of lung field. Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) showed a large amount of amorphous red-dyed materials and a few alveolar macrophages scattered in endoalveolar space with PAS positive. Transbronchial lung biopsy found adenocarcinoma. Wedge resection with mediastinal lymphnode and then 2 cycles of postoperative chemotherapy was carried out. No ground-glass opacities were found in his chest CT pictures in the next nine months. This result may support the theory that lung cancer cells cause quantitative or functional damage to alveolar macrophages, which trend to secondary PAP. Conclusions: The patient had typical clinical features of PAP. PAP may be secondary to lung cancer. (Sarcoidosis Vasc Diffuse Lung Dis 2018; 35: 390-394)

Abstract
Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) is a rare disorder that is characterized by the excessive accumulation of surfactant-like materials in the alveoli, leading to hypoxemic respiratory failure. We describe two Japanese infants with PAP associated with hypogammaglobulinemia and monocytopenia. These patients may have underlying primary immunodeficiency (PID) and were successfully treated with allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). This report indicates that allogeneic HSCT may provide a curative treatment for PAP associated with PID.

Abstract
A patient with pulmonary alveolar proteinosis underwent whole lung lavage of the right lung. Lavage of the left lung was not immediately possible because of severe hypoxemia. Three days later, after correction of hypoxemia, we re-attempted the left lung lavage. However, the patient had severe hypoxemia (SpO2 < 80%) within a few minutes of performing right one lung ventilation (OLV). On bronchoscopic examination, proper tube location was confirmed. Bronchodilator nebulization and steroid injection were attempted with no effect. While searching for the cause of the hypoxemia, we found that the breath sound from the right lung had become very weak and distant compared with that from initial auscultation. Right pneumothorax was diagnosed on chest X-ray and a chest tube was inserted. After confirming pneumothorax resolution, we re-tried right OLV and were able to proceed with the left lung lavage without signs of aggravating air leak, loss of tidal volume, or severe hypoxemia.

Abstract
Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) is a rare disease characterized by alveolar accumulation of surfactant material with resulting hypoxemia and reduced lung function. Whole lung lavage (WLL) to physically remove the proteinaceous material from the affected lung is the standard treatment. Since its original description in 1964, there have been increasing numbers of WLL procedures done worldwide and the technique has been variously refined and modified. When done in experienced centers, WLL provides long lasting benefit in the majority of patients. It is considered safe and effective. There are no guidelines standardizing the procedure. Our preferred method is to lavage one lung at a time, with the patient supine, filling to functional residual capacity (FRC) and repeating cycles of drainage and instillation with chest percussion until the effluent is clear. The aim of this article is to provide a detailed description of the technique, equipment needed and logistic considerations as well as providing a physiologic rationale for each step of WLL. We will also review the available data concerning variations of the technique described in the literature.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis is a rare disease characterized by accumulation of lipoproteinaceous material within alveoli. There are three clinically distinct forms: congenital, acquired and secondary. Whole lung lavage is currently the gold standard therapy for severe cases of pulmonary alveolar proteinosis. In Sri Lanka this is the first reported successful whole lung lavage for a patient with pulmonary alveolar proteinosis. CASE PRESENTATION We describe the case of a 15-year-old Sri Lankan girl who presented with symptoms of progressive shortness of breath and dry cough for 6 months' duration. She had a history of exposure to silica in her household environment. High-resolution computed tomography revealed crazy paving appearance in both lungs suggestive of pulmonary alveolar proteinosis. An open lung biopsy revealed intra-alveolar granular amphophilic material which was strongly periodic acid-Schiff positive and diastase resistant, which is consistent with pulmonary alveolar proteinosis. She was followed up for 2 years with periodical segmental bronchoalveolar lavages which showed minimal improvement in her symptoms as well as in exercise desaturation. Due to severe dyspnea and hypoxemia on exertion, she underwent whole lung lavage. It resulted in a marked improvement in her symptoms, exercise desaturation, and chest X-ray results. CONCLUSION Whole lung lavage was successfully performed for the first time in Sri Lanka for a patient with pulmonary alveolar proteinosis.
