Fig 1 Intensive care unit (ICU) length of stay in patients with and without postoperative low cardiac output syndrome (LCO). Intensive care unit stay was significantly longer in patients with low cardiac output syndrome. (∗ = extreme values; O = outlayers.)

Fig 2 Intensive care unit (ICU) length of stay shown as a function of patient age. In older patients, intensive care unit stay was significantly prolonged. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery 2002 73, 714-718DOI: (10.1016/S0003-4975(01)03572-X)
Fig 3 Intensive care unit (ICU) length of stay shown as a function of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) times. In patients with longer cardiopulmonary bypass times, intensive care unit stay was significantly prolonged. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery 2002 73, 714-718DOI: (10.1016/S0003-4975(01)03572-X)
