title: [A case of pulmonary alveolar proteinosis--evaluation of a Swan-Ganz catheter in bilateral lung lavage].
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.
