Mean (sd). MAP: mean arterial pressure (mmHg), HR: heart rate (beats min−1), CVP: central venous pressure (mmHg), CI: cardiac index (liters min−1 m−2), and Temp: central and peripheral body temperature (°C). Time point 1 () prior to surgery, after induction of anaesthesia; prior to cannulation of the aorta;   10 minutes after protamine administration;   30 minutes after arrival at the ICU; one hour after extubation at the ICU; first postoperative day, 8:00 a.m. in the ICU ward.
