Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
De primary outcome is the difference in leukocytes counts in the BAL fluid.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
In the obtained BAL fluid and blood plasma activation of the complement system, activation of the cytokines and chemokines network, activation of coagulation and fibrinolyse wil be determined. Changes in RNA profiles will be exposed in epithelial cells. Microbiota diversity and composition in BAL fluid and feces.
