Fig. 4

Changes in the end-expiratory lung impedance when going from supine to lateral position. Changes in end-expiratory lung impedance are presented, segmenting the lung into four quadrants from supine to left decubitus (left panel, A) and from supine to right decubitus (right panel, B). Regardless of the lateralized side, it is observed a decrease of EELI in the ventral quadrant of the lung placed down (dependent lung) and a significant increase in the other three quadrants. Δ EELI = End-expiratory lung impedance change. Data are shown as mean ± SEM
