Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| oHemodynamic parameters including: heart rate, systolic arterial pressure, diastolic arterial pressure, mean arterial pressure, central venous pressure, systolic pulmonary artery pressure, diastolic pulmonary artery pressure, mean pulmonary artery pressure, ejection fraction and fractional shortening. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| o Arterial and central venous blood samples will be obtained during each assessment point and immediately analyzed and arterial oxygen tension/fraction of inspired oxygen (PaO2/FiO2) ratio will be calculated by standard formulas. | — |
