Exploratory Study of Potential Pulmonary Aspiration Markers From Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluid
Completed
Conditions studied: Bronchoscopy
In brief
The purpose of this study is to learn if chemicals from the mouth or stomach can be found in the lungs. This may suggest a process called aspiration. This study may help us understand if aspiration plays a role in different lung diseases.
