ABSTRACT:
A method of collection of uncontaminated secretions from the lower respiratory tract of non-intubated patients using a laryngoscope and a translaryngoscopic catheter. After properly positioning the insertion tube of a laryngoscope in the larynx of a patient, the translaryngoscopic catheter is inserted through the instrument channel of the laryngoscope and a sampling element disposed within the lumen of the catheter is exposed to secretions in the lower respiratory tract. The sampling element is retracted and removed from the catheter. Fluid is injected into the tracheobronchial tree through the catheter and aspirated back.
