In this group,an arterial catheter was inserted preoperatively. An indwelling radial artery catheter was connected to the hemodynamic monitoring system (EV1000; Edward Lifesciences Corp., Irvine, CA, USA) via FloTrac™ (Edwards Lifesciences Corp.) sensors.

In this group,haemodynamic parameters were collected simultaneously by the thoracic bioimpedance (BioZ.com™) monitoring.

Haemodynamic parameters were collected simultaneously by the Flotrac monitoring.

After anesthesia induction, volume loading was initiated. For each volume loading step (VLS), 100 mL of colloid solution (6% hydroxyethyl starch) was administered over a 2-minute duration. The SVV was measured and recorded simultaneously by FloTrac (SVV-FloTrac) and Transthoracic electrical bioimpedance(SVV-BioZ). Volume loading steps (VLS) continued until no responsive VLS was observed. Responsive VLS, defined as an increase in Flotrac-SV by at least 5%, and nonresponsive VLS, characterized by no change or an increase in Flotrac-SV by less than 5%, were subsequently identified. Multiple analysis methods were used to determine the capacity to predict the fluid responsiveness of these two devices.
