Bronchoalveolar lavage or BAL is a minimally-invasive procedure that involves instillation of sterile normal saline into a sub-segment of the lung, followed by suction and collection of the instillation for analysis. This procedure is typically facilitated by the introduction of a flexible bronchoscope into a sub-segment of the lung. 4, record 1, English, - bronchoalveolar%20lavage
