Figure 1.

Intraoperative and postoperative trends in mean cardiac index (CI) (left panel) and Stroke Volume Index (SVI) (right panel) in patients, classified based on the Peritoneal Carcinomatosis Index (PCI) score. CI in patients with a PCI score > 20 was lower at all points in time compared with those with PCI up to 20. The CI in patients with PCI score up to 20 peaked at around 120 min of HIPEC and lowered, to a value higher than the baseline CI at the start of CRS. Similarly, SVV in patients with a PCI score > 20 was lower than patients belonging to the less high PCI scores throughout the perioperative period from the start of CRS till 24 h after the surgical procedure is complete.
