Article Synopsis
  • IPF patients have difficulty reaching their maximum voluntary ventilation (MVV) during exercise testing due to pulmonary vascular issues, which affects their ability to exchange gases properly.
  • A study involving two groups of IPF patients found that direct MVV significantly overestimates peak ventilation (VEpeak) during exercise, leading to potential misdiagnosis of their exercise limitations.
  • The research introduced an IPF-specific formula to predict VEpeak more accurately, showing that most patients have ventilatory limits within a reasonable range of their predicted MVV.

Background: Blunt chest trauma can cause severe acute pulmonary dysfunction due to hemo/pneumothorax, rib fractures and lung contusion.

Objectives: To study the long-term effects on lung function tests after patients' recovery from severe chest trauma.

Methods: We investigated the outcome and lung function tests in 13 patients with severe blunt chest trauma and lung contusion.
