Briefly, in the presence of a low cardiac index (<2.2 L/min/m 2 ) or at least two signs of hypoperfusion—such as pulse pressure variation ≥ 10%, oliguria (<0.3 mL/kg/h), hemoconcentration (increase in hematocrit without blood transfusion), lactate increase >1 mmol/L with a minimum absolute value of 2 mmol/L, a negative trend in base excess with negative absolute values, or a heart rate increase > 10% while anesthesia depth and catecholamine infusion remain stable—we perform a mini fluid challenge by infusing 100 mL of crystalloids over 1 min to assess fluid responsiveness.
On the other hand, some pairs showed a trend since the mean difference tended to be more prominent as the average increased (i.e., Kobayashi–Kurotobi in RCA and LMCA ( Figure 4 a,b), de Zorzi–McCrindle ( Figure S1 ), Kurotobi and Dallaire ( Figure S2 ), or McCrindle and Olivieri ( Figure S3 ) both in all measurements).
