Why the study?
Do temporal hemodynamic and oxygen transport patterns differ between survivors and nonsurvivors of high-risk surgery?
Population
708 consecutively monitored high-risk surgical patients
Comparison
Hemodynamic and oxygen transport monitoring vs Survivors vs. nonsurvivors

Greater postoperative compensation was associated with survival; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change perioperative targets.
Do temporal hemodynamic and oxygen transport patterns differ between survivors and nonsurvivors of high-risk surgery?
Survivors of high-risk surgery demonstrate greater postoperative compensatory increases in cardiac index, oxygen delivery, and oxygen consumption compared to nonsurvivors.
Shoemaker et al. (1993) studied this question.
