FRC response to body position. No differences in FRC were observed among the four horizontal positions (left, prone, right, and supine) with or without PLEF at PEEP1. Semi-Fowler’s position exhibited significantly higher FRC compared to all horizontal positions with and without PLEF (asterisk denotes statistical significance). Means and standard deviations are shown. BSL baseline, PEEP positive end-expiratory pressure, PLEF pleural effusion, FRC functional residual capacity
