A contour index (CI) is evaluated geometrically, which can be treated as an equivalent contour error such that a reduction in CI implies a reduction in contour error.
Distribution of all species was found to be significantly related to depth, distance from the 2000m depth contour, the contour index (a measure of variability in the seabed) and sea surface temperature.
The bathymetric descriptors included (1) median depth, (2) depth coefficient of variation, (3) contour index, and shortest distance to (4) the mainland, (5) the continental shelf-break (200-m isobath), (6) the continental slope (1000-m isobath), and (7) pelagic waters (3000-m isobath).
Continuous pulse contour cardiac index measurement was initiated after the initial calibration of the system by a triplicate 15-mL ice-cold normal saline injection through the central venous catheter (transpulmonary thermodilution) [16].
The TP leads to a decrease in HR, an increase in arterial pressure, a decrease in SVV, without any effect on the pulse contour cardiac index.
Continuous pulse contour cardiac index measurement was initiated after the initial calibration of the system by a triplicate 15-mL ice-cold normal saline injection through the central venous catheter (transpulmonary thermodilution) [ 16].
Here, is a value denoting one of the eight compass directions as shown in Figure 3. (2) Let, where is the contour-point index.
The hemodynamic parameter was monitored by the Pulse index Contour Continuous Cardiac Output system.
The Pulse index Contour Continuous Cardiac Output (PiCCO) system from Pulsion Medical Systems (Feldkirchen, Germany) is based on transpulmonary thermodilution (TPTD) and continuous pulse contour analysis approaches.
