Alveolar lavage was performed in 10 healthy dogs. After tracheal intubation was done, a sterile fiberoptic bronchoscope was wedged in a distant bronchus and the lungs were lavaged with sterile saline solution. An average of 140 ml of saline solution was flushed into the lungs of each dog, and an average of 79% of the solution was recovered. Examination of the recovered fluid revealed average total cell counts of 6.4 X 10(6) cells/dog. Average differential cell counts were as follows: macrophages, 50.5%; lymphocytes, 46.0%; and neutrophils, 3.5%. Results of bacterial culture of the recovered fluid were negative in 8 dogs and positive in 2; Bordetella bronchiseptica was isolated in 1 dog and Klebsiella pneumoniae was isolated in the other.
对10只健康犬进行肺泡灌洗。气管插管完成后，将一根无菌纤维支气管镜楔入远端支气管，并用无菌盐溶液对肺部进行灌洗。每只犬平均向肺内注入140毫升盐溶液，平均回收79%的溶液。对回收液体的检查显示，每只犬的平均总细胞计数为6.4×10(6)个细胞。平均分类细胞计数如下：巨噬细胞，50.5%；淋巴细胞，46.0%；中性粒细胞，3.5%。回收液体的细菌培养结果，8只犬为阴性，2只犬为阳性；1只犬分离出支气管败血波氏杆菌，另1只犬分离出肺炎克雷伯菌。
