a Lung ultrasound scores of the posterior regions before and after prone positioning (PP) in responders (n = 16) and non-responders (n = 6). b Before prone positioning: irregular and broken pleural lines with multiple confluent B-lines. c After prone positioning: irregular and thickened pleural lines with several B-lines, predominate separated B-lines
