EGDT algorithm. (1)target value depends on age: age < 60 years: target CI ≥ 2.8 l/min/m2; age between 60 and 75 years: target CI ≥ 2.6 l/min/m2; or age > 75 years: target CI ≥ 2.4 l/min/m2. (2)”no” in the presence of spontaneous breathing activity, tidal volume < 8 ml/kg, or breathing frequency > 16/min. (3)CI increases: repeat FC. If not: increase inotropic support. CI = Cardiac Index, FC = Fluid Challenge, PLR = Passive Leg Raising, SVV = Stroke Volume Variation, Tidal volumes are in ml/kg ideal body weight (IBW); IBW is calculated as 22 × L2 (L = length in meters).
