Figure 1 Randomized crossover study design involved 2 intervention periods: a recruitment maneuver (RM) of 30 cmH2O for 30 s and a sham maneuver (SM) of 5 cmH2O for 30 s at a different time point; the 2 procedures were separated by an equilibration period of 5 minutes. The observation targets were measured before and after each intervention period (pre-post RM and SM).
