Prone Position Augments Recruitment and Prevents Alveolar Overinflation in Acute Lung Injury

Mechanical ventilation in the prone position may be an effective means of recruiting nonaerated alveolar units and minimizing ventilation-induced lung injury. To evaluate and quantify regional lung volume alterations when patients with lobar or diffuse acute lung injury (ALI) were turned prone after...
