Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is an interstitial lung disease characterized by chronic, progressive scarring of the lungs and the pathological hallmark of usual interstitial pneumonia. the peri-operative management of patients with IPF is problematic, with the risk of acute respiratory failure per or post operatively. Through a case study of a 67-year-old female patient, followed for an advanced pulmonary fibrosis, and a review of the literature, we present the anesthetic management of prosthetic hip surgery in patients with pulmonary fibrosis. And the interest of the use of high flow nasal oxygen in anesthesia for patient with IPF. The use of high-flow nasal oxygenation (HFNO) for IPF patients with acute respiratory failure has been reported, and has been shown to reduce the length of stay in the ICU compared with mechanical ventilation, with no difference in mortality. but its use for the anesthesia of these patients is very little described.
