The gravitational distribution of ventilation-perfusion ratio is more uniform in prone than supine posture in the normal human lung

The gravitational gradient of intrapleural pressure is suggested to be less in prone posture than supine. Thus the gravitational distribution of ventilation is expected to be more uniform prone, potentially affecting regional ventilation-perfusion (V̇a/Q̇) ratio. Using a novel functional lung magnet...
