Summary of CBF AR changes during challenges in PEEP group. CBF AR status was calculated as the relationship to SAP change. (See Table 1 for legend).

Summary of CBF AR changes during challenges in hemorrhage group. CBF AR status was calculated as the relationship to SAP change: identical change of modality CBF AR was considered as passive (-); in case of inverted phase, CBF AR was considered as active (+). Artifact contaminated signals, mixed change or lack of signal were excluded from evaluation (0). Legend: SAP: systemic arterial pressure; CFa: carotid flow pulse amplitude; mean: CFm: mean pulse amplitude; REG1d: REG first derivative; CBF: absolute blood flow; LDF: laser Doppler flow; ICP: intracranial pressure; CVP: central venous pressure; PAP: pulmonary arterial pressure; pO2: pulse oximetry pulse amplitude; CO2: exhaled CO2 concentration; +: increase - i.e. identical change; -: decrease - i.e. opposite phase; 0: no data or artifact, no change; Trendelenburg: Trendelenburg position; rTrendelenburg: reverse Trendelenburg position; iso-prop transit: transition of anesthesia from isoflurane to propofol; A/P ratio: ratio of active/passive CBF AR status.
