Fig. 4. ( A ) Distribution of percent prediction error in estimating intrathoracic blood volume (ITBV) in group C using equation 7. ( B ) Distribution of percent error in estimating ITBVefor group S showing the significant increase in error at 30 and 90 min ( open triangles = time 0; shaded triangles = 30 min; shaded squares = 90 min; open squares = 150 min). ( C ) Percent error in group S at 30 and 90 min using equation 7compared with “corrected errors” when ITBVewas estimated using equation 9( shaded triangles = errors at 30 min; dotted triangles = corrected errors at 30 min; shaded squares = errors at 90 min; dotted squares = corrected errors at 90 min). Percent prediction error refers to [(ITBVm− ITBVe)/ITBVm]× 100.
