  • Title: [A case of pulmonary alveolar proteinosis--evaluation of a Swan-Ganz catheter in bilateral lung lavage].
    Author: Kasuya Y, Takeda T, Sakamoto T, Hosono K, Hayakawa A, Takenaka M.
    Journal: Masui; 1993 Jul; 42(7):1065-8. PubMed ID: 8350475.
    Abstract:
    Lung lavage, known to be effective for alveolar proteinosis, brings about significant hypoxemia immediately after evacuation of lavage fluid. Impeding blood flow of even a distal branch of a pulmonary artery by using a Swan-Ganz catheter (SGC) successfully prevented this hypoxemia. And this SGC procedure could be safely carried out to make lavage of each lung successively in one day.
