Data are expressed as median (quartile 25–quartile 75). value results from a Friedman’s two-way analysis of variance by rank. indicates a significantly different value compared to baseline and † indicates a significantly different value compared to time 2 value with the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. RHVI: right hepatic vein index; MHVI: middle hepatic vein index; ICG-PDR: indocyanine green plasma disappearance rate; MAP: mean arterial pressure; LVEF: left ventricle ejection fraction; SVV: stroke volume variation; PVV: pulse pressure variation; IVC: inferior vena cava; PaO2: arterial oxygen partial pressure; FiO2: inspired oxygen fraction; PaCO2: arterial carbon dioxide partial pressure. Time 0: after induction of general anaesthesia, before starting epidural analgesia. Time 1: 30 min after beginning epidural analgesia. Time 2: end of CRS, before abdominal filling. Time 3: end of HIPEC, before abdominal emptying. Time 4: end of procedure, after abdominal emptying and removal of abdominal drainage.
