a) Schematic representing trachea as well as mainstem, lobar, and sublobar bronchi in pigs. Numbers label b) representative bronchoscopic images at those specific points in the tracheobronchial tree. The airway was visualized, and the bronchoscope was advanced down the right mainstem bronchus first, until reaching point 6. 0.75 mL/kg of 1% Tween was instilled at this point in order to specifically target dependent lung regions. The bronchoscope was withdrawn to the carina and then advanced down the left mainstem bronchus until reaching point 9, and another 0.75 mL/kg of 1% Tween was administered. The bronchoscope was completely withdrawn at this point and the animals randomized into two groups. (Reprinted with permission) [15]
