Comparison of cardiac function index derived from femoral and jugular indicator injection for transpulmonary thermodilution with the PiCCO-device: A prospective observational study
Fig 5
Bland Altman plot comparing cardiac function index CFI_jug derived from jugular indicator injection to cardiac function index CFI-fem_uncor_form which was derived from femoral indicator injection without activation of a potential correction by the device, but corrected with the formula suggested for correction of femoral indicator injection derived global end-diastolic volume index GEDVI: GEDVIcorrected [mL / m2] = 0.539 * GEDVIuncorrected—15.17 + 24.49 * CIuncorrected 2.311* BWideal. CFI_fem_uncor_form was calculated by multiplying CFI_fem_uncor with the ratio GEDVuncorrected/GEDVcorrected.
GEDV(I): global end-diastolic volume (index). CI: Cardiac index.
