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 sentences:
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)
One local tertiary hospital saw a clear negative outcome from bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid. (Korea Biomedical Review)

Definition from
Wiki:
Die bronchoalveoläre Lavage (BAL; von lat.: bronchus „Bronchie“, alveole „Lungenbläschen“ und lavare „waschen“) und die technisch davon verschiedene Bronchiallavage sind diagnostische und therapeutische Verfahren in der Medizin.
Example sentences:
Bei der Bronchoalveolären Lavage wird Flüssigkeit z.B. Kochsalzlösung in die Lungenbläschen der Lunge eingebracht und dann wieder mittels sogenanntem Bronchoskop abgesaugt. (GV.at)
Der grundsätzliche Unterschied zwischen BAL und Bronchiallavage besteht darin, daß die BAL hauptsächlich ein diagnostisches, während die Bronchiallavage überwiegend ein therapeutisches Verfahren ist. (Atlas und Lehrbuch der flexiblen Broncho)
