在三年的时间里，对 119 名间质性肺病患者和 22 名正常志愿者进行了 281 次纤维支气管肺泡灌洗手术。没有出现重大并发症。不到 5% 的手术与轻微并发症相关，包括（2.5%）、肺炎（0.4%）、出血（0.7%）和支气管痉挛（0.7%）；这些并发症均不需要治疗。那些出现并发症的人有各种各样的生理学表现。功能测试无法预测哪些受试者更有可能出现与灌洗相关的轻微并发症。这些发现表明，支气管肺泡灌洗治疗间质性疾病是一种安全的手术，风险较小。
Over a three-year period, 281 fiberoptic bronchoalveolar lavage procedures were performed on 119 individuals with interstitial lung disease and 22 normal volunteers. There were no major complications. Less than 5 percent of the procedures were associated with minor complications including (2.5 percent), pneumonitis (0.4 percent), bleeding (0.7 percent) and bronchospasm (0.7 percent); none of these complications required therapy. Those individuals developing complications had a wide range of physiologic findings; functional tests could not predict which subjects were more likely to develop minor complications associated with lavage. These findings suggest that bronchoalveolar lavage for interstitial disease is a safe procedure associated with minor risks.
