Abstract
Partial cardiopulmonary bypass with extracorporeal membrane oxygenatio n to allow bilateral bronchopulmonary lavage in pulmonary alveolar pro teinosis has been described. However, this technique is complicated by a very low arterial Pot and cardiovascular embarrassment. Total cardi opulmonary support avoids these problems and was successfully used in a 21/2-year-old girl.
