Effects of posture on the distribution of pulmonary ventilation and perfusion in children and adults.

In the adult the distributions of ventilation and of perfusion show the same directional dependence on gravity. In children, however, the distribution of ventilation in response to gravity is the reverse of that seen in adults. The aim of the current study was to determine whether perfusion showed t...
