Effect of prone positioning on pathophysiology and lung histopathology during VV-ECMO in severe ARDS: an experimental animal study
Prone positioning did not decrease the overall severity of lung injury. Rather, it shifted the distribution of damage, with greater involvement of dependent regions and relative preservation of non-dependent areas.
