Abstract

Objective To assess whether distal bronchoalveolar lavage(DBAL) with plastic tubing allowed recovery of more fluid in comparison with common bronchoalveolar lavage(CBAL), and whether tubing had a favorable impact on operative procedure and complications. Methods A randomized study was performed in the hospital. Patients scheduled for BAL were randomly assigned to DBAL (n = 66) and CBAL (n = 56) group. Results In DBAL group,5.55% more fluid was recovered,9. 19% fewer technical failures,and 7.41% fewer complications were recorded. Conclusions Based on these results, we recommend performing DBAL using plastic tubing to replace CBAL. Key words: Bronchoalveolar lavage;  Methods;  Distal bronchoalveolar lavage; Common bronchoalveolar lavage
