Abstract
Partial cardiopulmonary bypass with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation to allow bilateral bronchopulmonary lavage in pulmonary alveolar proteinosis has been described. However, this technique is complicated by a very low arterial PO2 and cardiovascular embarrassment. Total cardiopulmonary support avoids these problems and was successfully used in a 2 1/2-year-old girl.
