Unilateral mechanical asymmetry: positional effects on lung volumes and transpulmonary pressure

BACKGROUND: Ventilated patients with asymmetry of lung or chest wall mechanics may be vulnerable to differing lung stresses or strains dependent on body position. Our purpose was to examine transpulmonary pressure (P(TP)) and end-expiratory lung volume (functional residual capacity (FRC)) during bod...
