Evaluation of airway inflammation in mechanically ventilated patients using cell count and protein concentration
Abstract Mechanically ventilated (MV) patients may present airway inflammation and elevated secretion production. However, it is unknown whether cell and/or protein counts in bronchial samples may be useful to evaluate their clinical condition. Our aim was to standardize sampling and propose a new m...
