Bronchial Washing for C/S Price in Bangladesh

What is Bronchial Washing for C/S?

Bronchial Washing for C/S (Culture and Sensitivity) is a diagnostic procedure used to identify infections in the lungs. During a bronchoscopy, a sterile saline solution is introduced into the bronchial tubes and then suctioned out, collecting a sample of mucus and cells.

This sample is sent to a laboratory for culture, where it is tested to identify bacteria, fungi, or other pathogens causing the infection. Sensitivity testing is also performed to determine which antibiotics or antifungal treatments will be most effective.

Risks include infection, bleeding, and discomfort. Results help guide targeted treatment for respiratory infections like pneumonia or bronchitis.

What to expect & how to prepare

A culture test looks for bacteria or other organisms in a sample and checks which antibiotics act against them. The sample is incubated in the laboratory, so this test needs more time than a routine blood report.

• Antibiotics: tell the laboratory if you have already started an antibiotic — it can change the result. Do not stop a prescribed medicine on your own.
• Sample collection: the correct sample and the way it is collected depend on the site being tested; the laboratory will instruct you or collect it for you.
• Timing: culture results take longer than routine tests because the organisms must grow first. Ask the laboratory when your report is expected.

Interpreted together with your symptoms — antibiotic choice should be made by a registered doctor, not from the report alone.
