Effects of supine, prone, and lateral positions on cardiovascular and renal variables in humans

Pump et al tested the hypothesis that changing the direction of the transverse gravitation stress in horizontal humans modulates cardiovascular and renal variables. On different study days, 14 healthy males were placed for 6 hours in either the horizontal supine or prone position following 3 hours o...

Summary:Pump et al tested the hypothesis that changing the direction of the transverse gravitation stress in horizontal humans modulates cardiovascular and renal variables. On different study days, 14 healthy males were placed for 6 hours in either the horizontal supine or prone position following 3 hours of being supine.
