The role of trunk inclination on respiratory function has been explored in patients with “typical” acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) (1–3). Data regarding patients with coronavirus disease (COVID-19)–associated ARDS (C-ARDS) are currently lacking. The aim of our study was to assess the effects of changes in trunk inclination on lung mechanics and gas exchange in mechanically ventilated patients with C-ARDS.
