Bronchoscopy with lavage
During an elective bronchoscopy procedure, the bronchoscope will be wedged into an affected lung segment guided by CT scanning. When involved an anterior segment will be used to maximize return. After wedging the bronchoscope, 120ml of sterile 0.09% normal saline will be instilled. Up to 40-60 mL of BAL fluid will be obtained for analysis during each sampling.
