Four-quadrant plots for SVRa vs test SVRs (SVRf10 and SVRr) in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. The horizontal and vertical axes represent changes in (A) SVRa and SVRf10 and (B) SVRa and SVRr over one unit of time (60 s using the HemoSphere advanced monitoring platform). The red square indicated in the center of each four-quadrant plot represents a zone of exclusion in the analysis, predefined as a zone with the absolute change of SVR < 100 dynes/sec/cm− 5. SVRa, actual systemic vascular resistance; SVRf10, SVR derived from a fixed CVP of 10 mmHg; SVRr, SVR derived from a random CVP
