Table 2 Corrected flow time (FTc), plethysmography variability index (PVI), and central venous pressure (CVP) at different times during liver resection

From: Transesophageal Doppler corrected flow time versus plethysmography variability index for goal-directed fluid management in cirrhotic patients during liver resection: a randomized controlled trial

 

After induction
