Relationship between Microcirculatory Perfusion and Arterial Elastance: A Pilot Study

Figure 2

Correlation between arterial elastance and systemic vascular resistance (left column) and between arterial elastance and proportion of perfused small vessels (right column) in responders. (a) Baseline (T₀); (b) after fluid challenge (T₁); (c) all data (baseline plus after fluid challenge); (d) percentage of change between baseline and after fluid challenge.
