Rationale: It remains unclear how prone positioning improves survival in acute respiratory
distress syndrome. Using serial computed tomography (CT), we previously reported that …

Rationale: Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) and prone positioning may induce lung
recruitment and affect alveolar dynamics in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) …

OBJECTIVES: It is not known how lung injury progression during mechanical ventilation
modifies pulmonary responses to prone positioning. We compared the effects of prone …

PURPOSE: To quantify cephalocaudal gradient of lung inflation in acute lung injury in a dog
model in prone versus supine position. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Experiments were …

In the prone position, computed tomography scan densities redistribute from dorsal to
ventral as the dorsal region tends to reexpand while the ventral zone tends to collapse …

Rationale: Mechanical ventilation in the prone position may be an effective means of
recruiting nonaerated alveolar units and minimizing ventilation-induced lung injury …

Objective: To evaluate the interaction of recruitment maneuvers and prone positioning on
gas exchange and venous admixture in patients with early extrapulmonary acute respiratory …

Rationale: The prone position is used to improve gas exchange in patients with acute
respiratory distress syndrome. However, the regional mechanism by which the prone …

Background Prone positioning enables the redistribution of lung weight, leading to the
improvement of gas exchange and respiratory mechanics. We aimed to evaluate whether …

Objective Supine position may contribute to the loss of aerated lung volume in patients with
acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). We hypothesized that verticalization increases …
