Culture - bronchoscopic What the risks are The risks of a bronchoscopic culture are the same as for a bronchoscopy procedure and include bleeding, infection, perforation (hole) of the bronchus or trachea, and pneumothorax. You must refrain from coughing and clearing your throat after the procedure, because it might dislodge a clot at the site of a biopsy. Special considerations Not applicable.
