Description
Yali Chao and co-authors test what lying face down does to breathing in awake patients whose lungs fail to take in enough oxygen. The pose is known to raise oxygen levels, but how it works in lungs of unlike shape was less clear.
The study covered twenty-four patients who were not on a breathing machine. Measures were taken lying on the back, after two hours face down, and an hour after turning back. Oxygen levels rose in all patients while face down. The match between air flow and blood flow in the lungs also rose in all. One kind of mismatch fell in patients with spread out lung damage.
