The classical description of pathologic insult due to acute exacerbation of IPF is diffuse alveolar damage [4] , which is the same as ARDS, but here is superimposed on the pathological findings of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis: usual interstitial pneumonia. As idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is a rare condition, and acute exacerbations occur spontaneously and abruptly, large a b prospective randomized trials evaluating treatment are lacking. High flow nasal cannula has been shown to have salutatory affects in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis patients without an acute exacerbation, specifically decreased minute ventilation, respiratory rate, capillary carbon dioxide were seen [25] .	./cache/cord-017322-82nfkms8.txt	./txt/cord-017322-82nfkms8.txt
