“…He did not previously carry a diagnosis of ILD, but subsequent high resolution CT chest revealed sub-pleural reticular shadows predominantly in the lower lobes as well as honeycombing, traction bronchiectasis and ground glass opacities, all concerning for ILD. Infection and heart failure were ruled out, and unfortunately the patient died without a definitive diagnosis, but his presentation was concerning for AE-ILD [42]. Interestingly, this patient was not intubated for his procedure, eliminating barotrauma or atelectatrauma as possible etiologies for his presumed exacerbation.…”

Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a category of diffuse parenchymal lung diseases characterized by inflammation and/or fibrosis. The best characterized ILD is idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Acute exacerbation of IPF is a dreaded occurrence with grim prognosis and suboptimal treatment options. There have been recent reports that acute exacerbation can occur in other ILDs (AE-ILD). Of note, some of these acute exacerbations follow lung procedures. This review summarizes the available information on AE-ILD and discusses the procedures reported to cause AE-ILD. We also discuss proposed mechanisms, risk factors, treatment and prognosis. This review should help to inform decision-making about risks versus benefits of procedures that are commonly recommended to diagnose ILD.

“…In 2016, Ma et al reported another case of possible AE-ILD after a non-pulmonary surgery [42]. A 65-year old man underwent elective total hip replacement under spinal anesthesia without intubation, and within 24 h of surgery, developed worsening dyspnea and oxygen saturations.…”
