Whole lung lavage

Whole lung lavage (WLL), also called lung washing, is a medical procedure in which the patient's lungs are washed with saline by filling and draining repeatedly. It is used to treat pulmonary alveolar proteinosis, in which excess lung surfactant proteins prevent the patient from breathing. Some sources consider it a variation of bronchoalveolar lavage.
