Figure 4

Correlation between MIF values and cardiac power index on the first POD. Insertion of the pulmonary artery catheter was performed intraoperatively as deemed necessary by the attending physician. In these patients (n = 14), the CPI was calculated after induction of anesthesia, after admission to the ICU and at the morning of the first POD with the following formula: CPI = mean arterial pressure × cardiac index/451 (W/m2) (23). Data are depicted as linear regression (black line) with 95% confidence interval (long dashed line).
