Prone position ameliorates lung elastance and increases functional residual capacity independently from lung recruitment

BACKGROUND: Prone position is used to recruit collapsed dependent lung regions during severe acute respiratory distress syndrome, improving lung elastance and lung gas content. We hypothesised that, in the absence of recruitment, prone position would not result in any improvement in lung mechanical...
