  Figure 1. Bland-Altman plot for CIv and CItd. Straight line indicating mean bias, dash line indicating 95% limit of agreement CIv, cardiac index obtained by FloTrac; CItd, cardiac index measured by transpulmonary thermodilution of PiCCO.

  Figure 2. Four-quadrant plot analysis to determine the trending ability for percentage change of CIv against CItd. Central square is an exclusion zone (% change < 10%); CIv, cardiac index obtained by FloTrac; CItd, cardiac index measured by transpulmonary thermodilution of PiCCO.

  Figure 4. Four-quadrant plot analysis to determine the trending ability for percentage change of CIv against CIp. Central square is an exclusion zone (% change <10%) CIv, cardiac index obtained by FloTrac; CIp, cardiac index measured by pulse contour analysis of PiCCO.
