Bronchoalveolar lavage in a dolphin
Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 1997Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) was performed twice to evaluate a stranded Atlantic bottle-nosed dolphin for pulmonary disease. A pediatric gastroscope with a working length of 1,090 mm and an outer diameter of 9.8 mm was of appropriate size for BAL in this dolphin.

American Review of Respiratory Disease, 1991
Abstract A significant limitation of standard bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) technique is the inability to measure or calculate epithelial lining fluid (ELF) volume and, therefore, in vivo concentrations of substances in the ELF. We evaluated a new rewash BAL procedure with the radiolabeled tracer technetium pertechnetate (99mTcO4 ...

Paediatric Respiratory Reviews, 2000
Bronchoalveolar lavage is a technique for sampling the epithelial lining fluid of the respiratory tract. Analysis of cellular and non-cellular components of returned fluid has the potential to provide valuable information about airways inflammation. Because of the invasive nature of the investigation, there are few conditions for which repeat sampling ...

Bronchoalveolar Lavage in Sarcoidosis
Respiration, 2009Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) was performed in 1,188 patients suffering from sarcoidosis. After technical considerations, the authors analyze the results of BAL from a practical point of view concerning (1) its value for the diagnosis of sarcoidosis and (2) its prognostic value and its value for the selection of therapy, particularly for the decision as

Bronchoalveolar lavage in pediatrics
The Indian Journal of Pediatrics, 1996Bronchoalveolar lavage is a relatively new technique that is used to study the local cellular, biochemical and immunological changes occurring in the lower respiratory tract. The procedure involves instilling a fixed volume of saline into a lung segment after the flexible fibreoptic bronchoscope is wedged into a distal bronchus. The saline is aspirated

Bronchoalveolar Lavage in Sarcoidosis
Seminars in Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2007There is no single cell type present in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid that appears to be predictive for sarcoidosis. However, BAL fluid analysis can be very helpful in the differential diagnosis. A grouping of features, an elevated total cell count, predominantly lymphocytes, together with a nearly normal percentage of eosinophils and ...

Comparison of Ballard Catheter Bronchoalveolar Lavage With Bronchoscopic Bronchoalveolar Lavage
Chest, 1994Bronchoscopic bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) in mechanically ventilated patients requires a large endotracheal tube, physician expertise, expensive equipment, and support staff.The Ballard BAL catheter is a disposable coude tip 16F device that can be attached to the endotracheal tube and ventilator circuit without loss of positive end-expiratory pressure
