TABLE 3.
Center of ventilation (pooled data)
| Volunteers (n = 10) | COVID‐19 (n = 12) | p (RL) | p (VD) | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CoV_RL (%) | CoV_VD (%) | CoV_RL (%) | CoV_VD (%) | |||
| Supine | 48 (38–56) | 57 (53–58) | 44 (35–53) | 54 (52–62) | .575 | .869 |
| Left lateral | 62* (47–70) | 56 (53–57) | 38* (34–53) | 58 (53–64) | .027* | .448 |
| Right lateral | 35 (27–52) | 58 (55–61) | 44 (37–56) | 62 (57–66) | .287 | .129 |
Note: Two coordinate Center of Ventilation (CoV): RL = right to left ratio, with 0% being the most lateral right lung and 100% the most lateral left lung; VD = ventral to dorsal, with 0% being the most ventral and 100% the most dorsal point of the lungs. Data are presented as median (interquartile range) in %. p < .05 was considered statistically significant (*).
