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

Bronchial Washing for C/S is performed at a diagnostic centre or hospital lab. A trained technician collects the required sample (commonly a blood draw, urine sample, swab or an imaging scan, depending on the test) and sends it to the lab for analysis. Most routine tests take only a few minutes to sample, with reports typically ready the same day or within 24–48 hours.

• Fasting: some tests require 8–12 hours of fasting (water is usually allowed). Ask the centre when you book.
• Medication: tell the lab about any medicines or supplements you take, as some can affect results.
• Timing: certain hormone and biochemistry tests are best done in the morning — confirm the recommended time.
• Report: always have a registered doctor interpret your Bronchial Washing for C/S result rather than self-diagnosing.
