The benefit of taking a control sample when performing bronchoalveolar lavage
Date
2015
Abstract
Contamination of bronchoscopes is well described.1–3 However, while cleaning and disinfecting bronchoscopes are clearly described in standardisation documents, 1–3 the performance of a control sample prior to bronchoscopy is not suggested. 4 5 Here, we offer an argument for such a procedure, supported by our experience with a 2-year-old boy with cystic fibrosis who underwent flexible bronchoscopy and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL)
