Changes in Hemodynamic Parameters From Sitting to Bending, Stratified by Bendopnea (A) Right atrial pressure and (B) pulmonary capillary wedge pressure were higher while sitting in subjects with bendopnea than in those without bendopnea (n = 46; n = 16 with bendopnea, n = 30 with no bendopnea; p < 0.05 for all). Pressures increased significantly from sitting to bending in those with or without bendopnea (p ≤ for all). However, there was no significant difference in the amount of increase between those with and without bendopnea (p = 0.24 for RAP, p = 0.90 for PCWP). (C) Cardiac index by thermodilution was similar between those with and without bendopnea either when sitting or bending (p = 34 and p = 0.42, respectively) and did not change from sitting to bending in those with (p = 0.38) or without bendopnea (p = 0.40).
