Figure 3

Receiver operating characteristic curves comparing the ability of superior vena cava collapsibility index and inferior vena cava distensibility index to discriminate between responders and nonresponders. The area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve for the collapsibility index of superior vena cava (ΔSVC) (0.74; 95% CI: 0.59 to 0.88) differed significantly from the area under the ROC curve for the distensibility index of inferior vena cava (ΔIVC) (0.43; 95% CI: 0.25 to 0.61) (P = 0.012).
