Definition from National Center for Biotechnology Info.:
Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) or bronchoalveolar washing is a diagnostic procedure by which cells and other components from bronchial and alveolar spaces are obtained for various studies. One of the main advantages of BAL is that it can be done as a day care procedure. Material obtained by BAL can give a definite diagnosis in conditions such as infections and malignancies.

Example sentence(s):
  • Bronchoalveolar lavage is a useful tool for sampling the lower respiratory tract, although its use in toxic gas inhalation to detect specific toxins is limited by the high solubility of most inhaled toxins and their transient residence in epithelial lining fluid. Science Direct

bronkoalveolaarinen huuhtelu


Definition from Opinnäytetyö, Jussila, 2016:
myös BAL-huuhtelu, keuhkoputkien huuhtelu.
Bronkoalveolaarinen huuhtelu (BAL) on menetelmä, jolla saadaan tutkittavaksi keuhkoputkien ja -rakkuloiden soluja. Huuhtelunäytteitä otetaan bronkoskopian eli keuhkoputken tähystyksen yhteydessä, jolloin huuhtelusuihku voidaan suunnata suoraan epäiltyyn kohteeseen. BAL-näytteillä on tärkeä rooli keuhkosairauksien diagnosoinnissa ja niitä epäiltäessä.

Example sentence(s):
  • Mahdollisuudet selvittää hengityselimiin liittyviä oireita ovat parantuneet nykyaikaisten diagnostisten menetelmien avulla. Näitä ovat erilaiset radiologiset tutkimukset ja keuhkofunktiotestit, bronkoskopia ja bronkoalveolaarinen huuhtelu sekä kudosnäytteen mikroskopia. - Reumaliitto  
  • Keuhkoputkien tähystys (bronkoskopia): koepalan otto ja tarvittaessa keuhkoputkien huuhtelu (bronkoalveolaarinen huuhtelu eli BAL). - Hengitysliitto  
  • Tähystyksen jälkeen saattaa ysköksissä olla verta ja BAL-huuhtelun jälkeen voi seuraavana yönä olla ohimenevä kuumereaktio. - Eksote
