Perioperative period analyzed only for patients whose intraoperative protocol was carried in full extent. Values are presented as absolute (percentage), mean ± standard deviation or median (interquartile range).

CI, cardiac index; CVP, central venous pressure; HR, heart rate; MAP, mean arterial pressure; N/A, not applicable; SOFA, Sequential Organ Failure Assessment; SVV, stroke volume variation.
