raw measurements in [ms] vs. ∆ = respiratory variation in [%]; c = corrected measurements according to Bazett’s formula vs. non-c = uncorrected measurements; Q vs. R = start of PWTT-measurements with Q- or R-wave in ECG; finger vs. ear = pulse oximetry probe location. P-value of Wilcoxon-test to discriminate fluid responders from non-responders (= increase in stroke volume ≥ 10%). n = 74
