Abstract：Objective To compare the changes of pulmonary function indicators in the patients before and at one week after simultaneous massive whole lung lavage , to observed the impact of whole lung lavage on pulmonary function in pneumoconiosis patients in short time .Methods The self-controled methord were used in 50 patiens who received massive whole lung lavage and were divided into normal group (n=27) and abnormal group(n=23) accod-ing to pulmonary function criteria to do the comparison of preoperative and postoperative indicators of one week re -spectively.Results VC, TLC, FVC at one week after lavage in normal group of pulmonary function were reduced compared to those before lavage(P<0.05);There was no statistically significant difference in other indicators before and after lavage(P>0.05);There was no statistically significant difference before and after lavage in the abmormal group of pulmonary function (P>0.05);The mean value of reduced indicators after the lavage were in the normal range.Conclusion Although pulmonary function indictors were reduced after lavage but the mean value was in the normal range.There′re no adverse effects of whole lung lavage on pulmonary function in the patients with pneumoconi -osis.
