Fig 1 A significant increased heart rate was observed in group AE vs group nAE at 16 hours postoperatively. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery 2000 69, 1098-1103DOI: (10.1016/S0003-4975(99)01573-8)
Fig 2 A significant lower stroke volume was observed in group AE vs group nAE at 12, 16, and 20 hours postoperatively. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery 2000 69, 1098-1103DOI: (10.1016/S0003-4975(99)01573-8)
Fig 3 No significant differences in mean systemic arterial blood pressure were observed between group AE vs group nAE during the observation period. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery 2000 69, 1098-1103DOI: (10.1016/S0003-4975(99)01573-8)
Fig 4 No significant alterations in mean pulmonary artery blood pressure were observed between group AE vs group nAE during the observation period. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery 2000 69, 1098-1103DOI: (10.1016/S0003-4975(99)01573-8)
Fig 5 The differences appearing between the two groups in cardiac index (CI) did not reach the level of statistical significance, although CI increased significantly vs baseline after 3 hours in group nAE, whereas a significant increase in group AE first was observed after 8 hours.

Fig 6 A significant lower mixed venous oxygen saturation was observed 4, 16, and 20 hours postoperatively in group AE vs group nAE. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery 2000 69, 1098-1103DOI: (10.1016/S0003-4975(99)01573-8)
