Guest guest Posted March 7, 2001 Report Share Posted March 7, 2001 HI I recieved a letter in the mail today from our Pulmonary Division, stating that they are conducting a research study on new methods of obtaining secretions from the lungs of infants and young children. They are calling it sputum induction. Does anyone know of this method and or have had it done? I want more info about it before I agree to add my son to the study. Our Dr said it was an uninvasive way of getting sputum from the lungs. Any info would be helpful. Thanks, Stein....mom to CF (9 mo)asthma, rotavirus and milk protein allergy & Tori wo/CF (3 1/2 yr W/asthma) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although Shantell is 19, she's only had a couple of serious lung infections, she just finished her third PICC line ever and we would like to check out this study.
