Figure 4From: Use of near-infrared spectroscopy during a vascular occlusion test to assess the microcirculatory response during fluid challengeRelationship between changes in cardiac output and changes in the tissue oxygen saturation recovery slope in all fluid challenges. x-axis: Difference in cardiac output after and before the fluid challenge (L/minute). y-axis: Difference in the tissue oxygen saturation (StO2) recovery slope after and before the fluid challenge (percentage per second). Closed circles represent positive fluid challenges. Open circles represent negative fluid challenges. Spearman's ρ coefficient = 0.10, P = 0.56.Back to article page
