May Noninvasive Mechanical Ventilation (NIV) and/or Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) Increase the Bronchoalveolar Lavage (BAL) Salvage in Patients With Pulmonary Diseases? (PAP+BAL)

September 4, 2023 updated by: Medical University of Silesia
The objective of our project is to find procedures and/or parameters to predict the diagnostic recovery (≥ 60% of the administered fluid volume) of bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid before bronchoscopy and to assess the impact of using non-invasive mechanical ventilation (NMV) or continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) to achieve diagnostic recovery in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and interstinal lungs disease for whom BAL performed during ordinary bronchoscopy turns out to be non-diagnostic.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Patients with diagnosed stable COPD (Stages 1-3) - experimental group; Patients with interstitial lung disease - experimental group
  2. Former and current smokers with normal lung function - potential control group 1;

  7. Severe, particularly ventricular arrhythmias
  8. Platelet count < 20,000/ul
  9. INR > 2 or APPT > 36 sec
  10. Very severe obstruction: forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) < 30% of predicted.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: BAL + NIV
Qualification for a specific type of ventilation (NIV or CPAP) will be carried out in a randomized manner by a specially created online platform. The procedure will be performed subsequently in the same segment of the opposite lung. Once the test is finished, the volume of BAL fluid that has been recovered will be measured.
