摘要
A 62-year-old man with pleuroparenchymal fibroelastosis (PPFE), who had been under observation for 19 years, was admitted due to headache, fatigue, and dyspnea. Although no acute findings were detected, his symptoms were attributed to hypercapnia and exertional hypoxemia. He had a history of pneumothorax, but chose not to undergo positive airway pressure ventilation. Consequently, home high-flow nasal therapy (HFNT) was initiated, and 4 months later, he observed an improvement in his quality of life, body weight gain, and relief from hypercapnia. These outcomes suggested that home HFNT holds potential for improving the quality of life for patients with PPFE.
