Effects of prone positioning on lung mechanics and oxygenation according to recruitment-to-inflation ratio. The continuous line shows the linear regression (with 95% confidence intervals in dashed lines) between recruitment-to-inflation (R/I) ratio in supine position and changes in compliance of the respiratory system (Crs) at low positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) (Panel A) and changes in compliance of the recruited lung (Crec) (Panel B) in 18 patients with COVID-19-related acute respiratory distress syndrome. For low recruiters (n = 9, orange circle) and high recruiters (n = 9, blue circle) defined by R/I under or above the median value of the cohort (0.66), respectively, individual values of R/I (Panel C), Crs at low PEEP (Panel D), arterial partial pressure of oxygen to fraction of inspired oxygen (PaO2/FiO2, Panel E) and ventilatory ratio (Panel F) are reported in supine position, prone position and after repositioning in the supine position (re-supine). *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001 in one-way ANOVA for repeated measures or Friedman test, as appropriate
