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

  • * Mann Whitney U test,

  • ** Wilcoxon test.

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