In idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), alterations in the pulmonary surfactant system result in an increased alveolar surface tension and favor repetitive alveolar collapse. This study aimed to assess the usefulness of electrical impedance tomography (EIT) in characterization of regional ventilation in IPF.
We investigated 17 patients with IPF...
