Li HB, Ji XL, Nie PH, Sun NH, Li RH. Perioperative management of bronchoscopy in a child patient with central core disease: A case report and literature review. Int J Surg Case Rep 2024; 118:109629. [PMID: 38657516 PMCID: PMC11063512 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijscr.2024.109629] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/23/2024] [Revised: 03/29/2024] [Accepted: 04/04/2024] [Indexed: 04/26/2024] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION We described the perioperative management of a child patient with central core disease for bronchoscopy with bronchoalveolar lavage. It is safe to avoid triggering agents (volatile anesthetics and succinylcholine) probably in preventing this appearance of malignant hyperthermia (MH). It is important to recognize potential complications and know how to prevent and manage them in patients with this condition. PRESENTATION OF CASE A 5-year-old boy (weight: 8.8 kg; height: 63 cm) presented to the pediatric department after five days of intermittent fever (highest body temperature is 39.3 °C) and cough, and aggravation 1 day, meanwhile he had phlegm in throat but he couldn't cough out. The child was found to have motor retardation at his one-month-old physical examination, then genetic analysis showed central core disease. Bronchoscopy with bronchoalveolar lavage was performed for better treatment under the premise of symptomatic treatment. DISCUSSION The patients with central core disease are particularly to develop malignant hyperthermia, so adequate precautions are in place to prevent and treat MH before anesthetic induction. The anesthesiologists need to make adequate preoperative anesthesia management strategies to ensure the safety of the child with central core disease for bronchoscopy with bronchoalveolar lavage. The child was discharged from the hospital one week after anti-inflammatory and anti-asthmatic treatment. CONCLUSION We summarized the anesthetic precautions and management in patients with central core disease, meanwhile we offered some suggestions about anesthetic focus on bronchoscopy with bronchoalveolar lavage.

Abstract
Introduction We report a life-threatening case of severe respiratory failure due to a pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) secondary to lysinuric protein intolerance (LPI), complicated by a pre-existing right pneumothorax, which we treated using a rescue whole-lung lavage (WLL). To date, in the literature, there are no cases of WLL performed in this condition. Clinical condition Patient was referred to our center because of rapidly worsening dyspnea and deterioration of gas exchange, caused by a secondary form of PAP which required an immediate therapeutic option such as the one offered by WLL. On physical examination, bilateral crackles were present, and peripheral blood oxygen saturation was 78% on oxygen with a FiO2 of 40%. Interventions After stabilizing the clinical conditions with oxygen therapy erogated through a high-flow nasal cannula, shortly after admission, we performed a rescue WLL among two procedures. The procedure was very effective, and the patient was later discharged without oxygen therapy and in good clinical condition. Conclusion Our case report represents a chance to help fill the gap of knowledge relative to secondary forms of PAP. The patient we presented suffers from a very rare genetic condition (LPI) that only has a few reported cases in the literature and has a very low prevalence which makes it difficult to produce the affected people:newborns ratio. We believe that difficult and rare cases like this one can improve our understanding of the disease and, most importantly, of how much the only therapeutic option we had, a rescue WLL, is effective to improve gas exchange and radiological features, despite being performed in these severe respiratory conditions.

Association between one-session bilateral whole-lung lavage and periprocedural complications in patients with pulmonary alveolar proteinosis: a retrospective cohort study. Orphanet J Rare Dis 2023; 18:91. [PMID: 37081515 PMCID: PMC10116806 DOI: 10.1186/s13023-023-02691-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/15/2022] [Accepted: 04/02/2023] [Indexed: 04/22/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Whole lung lavage (WLL) has been recognized as the most effective therapy of severe pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP). Most centers perform the lavage of each lung in two sessions under general anesthesia at an interval of several days to weeks. Compared with two-session WLL, one-session bilateral sequential WLL only requires general anesthesia once. However, the safety of one-session WLL in PAP patients has not been assessed by large cohort studies. In this study, we aimed to investigate the association between the mode of WLL procedure (one-session or two-session) and the risk of periprocedural complications in PAP patients. METHODS In this single-center retrospective cohort study, we included adult patients who were diagnosed as PAP and had undergone WLL procedures under general anesthesia from 2000 to 2022. Patients requiring extra-corporeal oxygenation during WLL were excluded. Since some patients received multiple WLL procedures, we considered each procedure in one-session or two-session group as a unique unit in our analysis. The primary outcome was the occurrence of any complications during hospitalization, including termination of WLL procedure due to fluid leakage or refractory hypoxemia, bronchospasm, delayed endotracheal extubation, cardiovascular event, pneumothorax, and fever. RESULTS We included a total of 175 WLL procedures (118 patients), with 48 in the two-session group and 127 in the one-session group. Periprocedural complications occurred in 17 (35.4%) and 39 (30.7%) procedures in the two-session and the one-session groups, respectively. The risk of periprocedural complications did not differ significantly between groups, after adjusting the unbalanced confounders in a multivariable model (odds ratio 0.95, 95% confidence interval 0.34 to 2.69, P 0.929) or by inverse probability of treatment weighting (odds ratio 0.70, 95% confidence interval 0.30 to 1.54, P 0.379). Compared with the two-session WLL group, the one-session WLL group had a shorter postprocedural length of hospitalization and comparable decrease in alveolar-arterial oxygen tension gradient from baseline. CONCLUSIONS One-session bilateral WLL was not associated with an increased risk of periprocedural complications compared with two-session WLL in PAP patients. Experienced physicians may consider performing one-session WLL in view of the comparable safety and efficacy and potential advantages of saving time.

Abstract
Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) is an uncommon disease characterized by progressive accumulation of lipoprotein material in the lungs due to impaired surfactant clearance. Whole-lung lavage (WLL) is the current standard treatment and consists of sequential lavage of each lung to mechanically remove the residual material from the alveoli. Although WLL is considered safe, unexpected complications can occur. Moreover, due to the rarity of the disease itself, this procedure is unknown to many physicians, and management of intraoperative complications can be challenging for anesthesiologists. Lung ultrasound (LUS) provides reliable and valuable information for detecting perioperative pulmonary complications and, in particular, quantitation of lung water content. There have been reports on monitoring the different stages of controlled deaeration of the non-ventilated lung during WLL using LUS. However, it has been limited to non-ventilated lungs. Therefore, we report the use of LUS in WLL to proactively detect pulmonary edema in the ventilated lung and implement a safe and effective anesthesia strategy. Given the limited diagnostic tools available to anesthesiologists in the operating room, LUS is a reliable, fast, and noninvasive method for identifying perioperative pulmonary complications in patients with PAP undergoing WLL.
