Hathaway EH, Tashkin DP, Simmons MS. Intraindividual variability in serial measurements of DLCO and alveolar volume over one year in eight healthy subjects using three independent measuring systems. Pulmonary function tests (PFTs) are routinely performed in the upright position due to measurement devices and patient comfort. 2001;90(2):405–11. Studies that included subjects older than 60 years did not mention the cognitive function of participants, a factor that may influence patient cooperation. One study [21] reported higher DLCO in sitting vs. side lying while another study [20] found no difference between these positions. J Appl Physiol (1985). Vital capacity (VC) is the maximum amount of air a person can expel from the lungs after a maximum inhalation.It is equal to the sum of inspiratory reserve volume, tidal volume, and expiratory reserve volume.It is approximately equal to Forced Vital Capacity (FVC). Vital capacity. In contrast, diffusion capacity, as assessed by DLCO, increases in the supine position in healthy subjects while the effect in CHF patients is thought to depend upon pulmonary circulation pressure. Nevertheless, it is important to note that in these debilitated patients with SCI, even a small change in FVC is probably clinically significant. The American Academy of Neurology has concluded that in ALS patients, supine FVC is probably more effective than erect FVC in detecting diaphragm weakness and correlates better with symptoms of hypoventilation [68]. 1998;89(1):1–7.

The risk of bias was categorized as low (score 76–100%), moderate (26–75%) or high (0–25%). The changes in body position can cause changes in lung function, and it is necessary to understand them, especially in the postoperative upper abdominal surgery, since these patients are susceptible to postoperative pulmonary complications. http://www.iapsmupuk.org/journal/index.php/IJCH/article/view/108.

Spirometric examination is the most common form of PFT [1]. Rhinology. FVC is thus an important clinical tool for assessment of diaphragmatic weakness in patients with neuromuscular diseases [64]. Herxheimer (1949), using Verzar's thoracometer, measured and recorded simul-taneously the vital capacity and thethoracic cage expansion, and, although he made Effects of body position and age on membrane diffusing capacity and pulmonary capillary blood volume. In patients with neuromuscular disorders, performing PFTs in the supine position may help to assess diaphragmatic function. The four positions used in the present study were supine at 0°, supine at 45° sitting with hanging down legs, and upright. On the average no statistically significant difference was found between the two positions. Two studies that evaluated RV using helium dilution in healthy subjects [43] and those with obesity [41, 43] found no statistically significant difference between sitting and supine. This may explain why a study that included participants with a mean age of 61 [21] found no difference in DLCO between sitting and supine. NLM BMC Pulm Med 18, 159 (2018). This improvement is attributed to the moderate increase in alveolar blood volume in the supine position due to recruitment of lung capillary bed on transition from upright to supine.

The effect of body position on maximal expiratory pressure and flow. In most studies no difference was reported between sitting and supine [21, 24, 28, 43] or between sitting and RSL or LSL [21]. Moreno F, Lyons HA. (3) Outcome measures included assessment of lung function by forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1), FEV1/FVC, vital capacity (VC), functional residual capacity (FRC), maximal expiratory pressure (PEmax), maximal inspiratory pressure (PImax), peak expiratory flow (PEF), total lung capacity (TLC), residual volume (RV), or diffusing capacity of the lungs for carbon monoxide (DLCO). The supine position, therefore, compromises diaphragmatic movement and chest wall recoil during breathing. Four studies included subjects with lung disease [29,30,31,32]. Pulmonary function in chronic spinal cord injury: a cross-sectional survey of 222 southern California adult outpatients. The decreased PImax observed in the supine position could be related to diaphragm overload by abdominal content displacement during maximal inspiratory effort, which could offset improved diaphragm position on the length-tension curve. First, while the kinematic analysis was performed in both sitting and supine position, the pulmonary function tests were performed in sitting position only. In one study, FVC was reported 200 ml higher in sitting vs. RSL and LSL [21], and in the other two studies FVC was higher in sitting vs. supine by 350–400 ml, which has clinical significance [18, 27]. © 2021 BioMed Central Ltd unless otherwise stated. Among subjects with asthma, CHF, and obesity no statistically significant difference in FEV1/FVC was found between the different body postures [18, 27, 32, 42].

Both elastic (reduced lung compliance) and resistive loads are simultaneously increased in the supine position in CHF patients [63]. Am J Med. The Forced Vital Capacity consists of a forced expiration in the spirometer followed by a forced inspiration. The vital capacity value adopted in each position was the highest value among three measurements with less than 10% difference between them. Razi E, Moosavi GA. This mechanism is especially important in patients for whom the diaphragm is the main muscle for breathing, since their intercostal and abdominal muscles are inactive due to SCI.

In patients with myotonic dystrophy and in those with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), there was a clinically and statistically significant decrease in FVC from sitting to supine [25, 34, 38]. The major findings were that forced expiratory volumes in one and in six seconds and forced vital capacity were significantly larger (p < 0.001) in the standing than in the sitting posture, with mean standing minus sitting differences ranging from +0.06 to +0.08 L for the 3 indexes. [Influence of different body positions in vital capacity in patients on postoperative upper abdominal]. One study [18] found DLCO to be higher in the sitting vs. supine positions while another study found no difference in DLCO between these positions [21]. Tsubaki A, Deguchi S, Yoneda Y. Only 7/43 studies reported sample size calculations required to reach statistical power. The COPD sitting position is more accurate since it flattens the diaphragm, allowing more air to come in.

Miller MR, Crapo R, Hankinson J, et al. Sitting is preferable for safety reasons to avoid falling due to syncope [2], and might also be more convenient because of the measurement devices and patient comfort. In subjects with CHF, one study found a statistically and clinically significant increase in FEV1 in sitting vs. RSL and LSL, but no difference between sitting and supine [21], while two other studies reported higher FEV1 in sitting vs. supine [18, 27].

As cardiac dimension increases, lung volume, mechanical function, and diffusion capacity decrease [61, 62]; thus, the heart weighs on the diaphragm while sitting and on one of the lungs while in a side-lying position. Further research in this field is needed, including studies designed to evaluate lung function in a larger number of healthy participants as well as in individuals with a variety of medical conditions. In addition, the length of all other inspiratory muscles may become less optimal in supine position [75].
