Assessment of chest wall elastance in patients with pulmonary fibrosis waiting for lung transplantation, interest in donor size selection

Some patients with pulmonary fibrosis (PF) can have severe and fixed chest wall retraction; others regain the shape of their original rib cage once the lungs are removed. These 2 possibilities determine the size of the lung graft to be allocated but are not predictable with classical respiratory tes...
