Heart rate, arterial pressure (systolic, diastolic, mean), PPV, pulse oximetry, cardiac index (CI), SV, peak velocity (PV), corrected flow time (FTc, averaged across 10 successive measurements), and bispectral index were recorded by an independent observer before the ARM, during the ARM at the nadir of SV variation, and 1 (after1) and 3 (after3) min after the end of the ARM.
