Four square plot of the concordance for cardiac index trending in the preoperative phase between Nexfin® and FloTrac™. Hemodynamic trending interchangeability using a four-quadrant plot representation of the changes in cardiac index (CI) measurements from the total data sample. Data points in the left lower und right upper quadrant depict CI values with the same delta change (in %) – negative or positive. Number of values with changes in CI < 15% were excluded (exclusion zone, number of excluded values and remaining number of CI values). The concordance of the remaining values is also displayed in the diagram. Panel a shows trending between baseline, patient awake and anesthesia induction with anti-Trendelenburg position, Panel b anesthesia induction with anti-Trendelenburg position and baseline anesthesia, Panel c baseline anesthesia and passive leg raising and Panel d anesthesia with passive leg raising and fluid bolus administration
