The Pragmatics of Prone Positioning [PDF]

open access: possibleAmerican Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2002
1. Functional residual capacity may be higher, thereby reducing end-expiratory airspace closure (1, 2). This benefit is important relative to gas exchange as it will particularly affect the dorsal lung, and this region receives the greatest proportion of perfusion in all postures (3, 4). 2.
