| Life in the Fast Lane
Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) is a bronchoscopic sampling technique that instills sterile saline into a wedged distal airway and retrieves it for microbiological, cytological, and immunological analysis.

BAL can be a useful diagnostic tool in critically ill patients for diagnosing pneumonia, diffuse infiltrates, alveolar haemorrhage, and immunocompromised hosts.
