In this study, we did see a significant increase in dEELI and a non-significant increase in dTID in IPF patients as well as in healthy controls in response to an increase of PEEP under spontaneous breathing. We propose the combined measurements of EIT and lung function to assess regional lung ventilation in spontaneously breathing subjects.
