Whether prone positioning (PP) modulates acute lung inflammation by the modulation of
biomechanical forces of ventilator-induced lung injuries (VILIs) remains unclear. We aimed …

Objectives: Prone positioning is frequently used during acute respiratory distress syndrome.
However, mechanisms by which it improves oxygenation are poorly understood, as well as …

Prone position may delay the development of ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI), but the
mechanisms require better elucidation. In experimental mild acute lung injury (ALI), arterial …

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

Prone position can reduce mortality in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), but
several studies found variable effects on oxygenation and lung mechanics. It is unclear …

Ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) can be life-threatening and it is important to prevent the
development of VILI. It remains unclear whether the prone position affects neutrophilic …

Background Vigorous spontaneous effort can potentially worsen lung injury. This study
hypothesized that the prone position would diminish a maldistribution of lung stress and …

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 …

Introduction The benefits of prone position ventilation are well demonstrated in the severe
forms of acute respiratory distress syndrome, but not in the milder forms. We investigated the …

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