Alterations in Respiratory Mechanics in Mechanically Ventilated Patients Following Bronchoalveolar Lavage
Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) can be used for a variety of diagnostic purposes in mechanically ventilated patients. BAL can cause changes in respiratory mechanics. However, the risk factors associated with these changes remain unknown. The current study tried to identify the risk factors that contrib...
