Thermoplot demonstrating “Area under the Curve” (AUC) values from Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC)-analyses regarding bias CIt-CIpc exceeding ≥20% of CItd. Y-axis ranges from 0.5 (worthless for prediction; intense blue) to 1.0 (best prediction; intense red). The variables were aligned according to merged data. CItd: Thermodilution-derived Cardiac Index. CIpc: Pulse-contour-derived Cardiac Index. CItd(base): Cardiac index measured at previous (baseline) thermodilution. dPmax: “Index of Left Ventricular Contractility”. PP: Pulse Pressure. TPTD: Transpulmonary thermodilution. MAP: mean arterial pressure. RRsyst, RRdiast: systolic and diastolic pressure. HR: Heart rate. Δ-values compare data to corresponding values at the time of the last TPTD. [rel]: relative changes compared to time of the last TPTD. [abs]: absolute changes compared to time of the last TPTD.
