Interventions

PROCEDURE

Bronchoscopies and Bronchoalveolar Lavages (BALs)

Bronchoscopies use a thin, lighted tube, which enters through the mouth or nose and moves down the throat to the airways to look at the lungs. BALs are done during bronchoscopies to collect samples from the lungs for testing. During this procedure, a saline solution is put through the tube to wash the airways and collect a fluid sample.
