  1. FCO = cardiac output assessed by the FloTrac/Vigileo™ device; ICO = cardiac output determined by the intermittent thermodilution; PCO = cardiac output assessed by the PiCCOplus™ system. Data are presented as mean bias (limits of agreement). Percentage error (%Error) was calculated according to Critchley and Critchley [20]. a P < 0.05 compared with set A.
