The effects of prone and supine positions on the regional distribution of ventilation in infants and children using electrical impedance tomography

BACKGROUND: Positioning of ill children is often used to optimise ventilation–perfusion matching, thereby improving oxygenation. OBJECTIVES: To determine the effects of supine and prone positions, and different head positions, on the distribution of ventilation in healthy, spontaneously breathing in...
