62. Effect of prone position on ventilation distribution. In the supine position, the distribution of ventilation is preferentially distributed to the ventral regions. When the patient is prone, the stiffness of the dorsal chest wall favors the distribution of ventilation to the dorsal regions, facilitating reinflation in this area.
