Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The correlation between changes of stroke volume and hence cardiac output with changes in central venous saturation and central venous arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide difference, respectively
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Sensitivity and specificity of pulse pressure and stroke volume variation and pleth variability index (PVI) to predict an increase of cardiac output by at least 10%
