Abstract:
After more than 35 years of evolution, whole lung lavage is an efficient and safe technique. Furthermore, it can be a pleasant experience because it consists of performing general anesthesia without a surgeon being in the operating room. Whole lung lavage can be adapted to many patients and diseases; however, more research must be done to confirm the new indications.
