Figure 4

Mean transpulmonary pressures (±s.d.) for PEEP10. Semi-Fowler's, left lateral, right lateral, prone, and supine positions (left panel) with and without pleural effusion (PLEF, right panel). No differences were seen between positions with or without PLEF. End-expiratory PTP was positive or near zero with PEEP10. PLEF did not significantly change end-expiratory or end-inspiratory PTP. PTP excursion pressures did not differ between position with or without PLEF.
