Conditions

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Bronchoalveolar Lavage (BAL) during Bronchoscopy

Bronchoalveolar Lavage (BAL) is a standard diagnostic tool for the evaluation of lower respiratory tract pathology including respiratory infections and unexplained radiographic pulmonary lesions including lung neoplasia. It is a minimally invasive procedure that involves introduction of the bronchoscope, installation of sterile normal saline into a subsegment of the lung, and suction and collection of the recovered saline for diagnostic evaluation.
