Super-syringe maneuver. Representative time-series for standardized super-syringe maneuvers obtained from one acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and one patient with healthy lungs (control). Volume steps of 100 mL were repetitively applied up to a maximum plateau pressure of 45 cmH2O. After each volume step, airflow was interrupted for three seconds.
