Alveolar recruitment for 40 seconds following application of 40 cmH2O airway pressure. The majority of alveoli recruit almost immediately but individual alveoli recruit continually over the 40 seconds of applied pressure.

Whole lung recruitment for 40 seconds following application of 40 cmH2O airway pressure. The majority of the lung recruits almost immediately but there are distinct area of lung that 'pop' open continually over the 40 seconds of applied pressure.
