  • Values are presented as mean ± standard deviation (SD) and median (minimum-maximum).

  • * Independent samples t-test.

  • ** Mann Whitney U test.

  • BMI: body mass index, H: hour, MP: mechanical power, T1: 15th minute in the supine position, T2: 15th minute into the first prone position, T3: at the first hour in the prone position, T4: at the conclusion of the surgery in the final prone position, T5: in the final supine position, 15 minutes after return
