  1. Data represent the median (interquartile range) of the four consecutive measurements obtained during the observation period. Reduced numbers because of missing values are indicated with superscript a (a), where n = 40, and superscript b (b), where n = 44. CFI: cardiac function index; CI: cardiac index; CP: cardiac power; ELWI: extravascular lung water index; GEDVI: global end-diastolic volume index; GEF: global ejection fraction; LVSWI: left ventricular stroke work index; MPAP: mean pulmonary arterial pressure; PAC: pulmonary artery catheter; PAOP: pulmonary artery occlusion pressure; PiCCO: transpulmonary thermodilution technique; PVPI: pulmonary vascular permeability index; RAP: right atrial pressure; SmvO2: mixed venous oxygen saturation.
