The Effects of Prone with Respect to Supine Position on Stress Relaxation, Respiratory Mechanics, and the Work of Breathing Measured by the End-Inflation Occlusion Method in the Rat
文摘
Purpose The working hypothesis is that the prone position with respect to supine may change the geometric configuration of the lungs inside the chest wall, thus their reciprocal mechanical interactions, leading to possible effects on stress relaxation phenomena and respiratory mechanics.
