Temporal course of hemodynamic parameters during the early postoperative course in 1-year survivors and 1-year nonsurvivors. CO = cardiac output; PAP syst. = systolic pulmonal arterial pressure; SvO2 = mixed venous saturation. Hemodynamic data were obtained from the routinely utilized continuous-cardiac-output (CCO) Swan-Ganz Catheter (Edwards Vigilanz II®). Given are the results of the ANOVA mixed model analysis for repeated measures.
