A lower ITV index means that more tidal ventilation is distributed to the better perfused dependent lung region, leading to less shunt and improved PaO2/FiO2 ratio.

Nevertheless, in the group as a whole the manoeuvre was effective in improving oxygenation, lung volume and respiratory system compliance more rapidly than did tidal ventilation and positive end-expiratory pressure alone.
Although not specifically tested in this study, the subsequent reversal of collapse might promote a more homogeneous distribution of tidal ventilation, making use of the previously collapsed parenchyma to "share" the tidal volume, and possibly relieving nondependent lung hyperinflation described by Terragni and colleagues [ 41].
Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) redistributes tidal ventilation towards more perfused dependent lung regions, potentially improving homogeneity of ventilation-perfusion matching.
Assuming that more homogeneous regional distribution of tidal ventilation parallels betters gas exchange and regional pulmonary mechanics (regional DPTP), our results suggest that mechanically ventilated patients with a large unilateral PLEF would experience lower end-expiratory volume collapsed and more homogeneous ventilation while in prone position and lateral position with non-dependent PLEF.
On the contrary, EX5 data was extracted at the very beginning of the pauses and therefore they more closely represent what happens during tidal ventilation.
In mechanically ventilated patients, the objective of studying the IVC is to assess its ability to dilate during tidal ventilation, when intrathoracic pressure is increasing more than abdominal pressure.
Both therapies promote more homogenous lung recruitment, minimizing local shear stress; reduce cyclic opening/collapsing of potentially recruitable lung units during tidal ventilation; and improve ventilation-perfusion matching.
Fig. 4 Distribution of tidal ventilation.
Airway and esophageal pressure were recorded during tidal ventilation.
The percentage of distribution of tidal differences in gas volume (tidal ventilation) is displayed in Fig. 4.
