Bronchoalveolar Lavage

Bronchoalveolar lavage or BAL is a minimally invasive procedure that involves the instillation of sterile normal saline into a sub-segment of the lung, followed by aspiration and collection of the instillation for analysis. This procedure is generally facilitated by the introduction of a flexible bronchoscope into a sub-segment of the lung. The procedure was popularized in 1974 by the work of American doctors, Reynolds and Newball, in Maryland. Today, it mainly serves as a diagnostic tool for the evaluation of pathology of the lower respiratory tract and in certain unusual conditions, it also has therapeutic utility.
