Diagram of the experimental protocol. Calibration refers to transpulmonary thermodilution for calibration of pulse contour–derived cardiac output and assessment of stroke volume variation and pulse pressure variation. Randomly changed VT refers to tidal volume 6, 12 or 18 ml/kg applied in random order. (VT: Tidal volume, IAH, intra-abdominal hypertension)
