From: Carotid artery velocity time integral and corrected flow time measured by a wearable Doppler ultrasound detect stroke volume rise from simulated hemorrhage to transfusion

Fig. 2

Hemodynamic data captured during lower body negative pressure (LBNP) and release. Measures from AD are synchronously captured. Each faint line represents a single protocol, while the emboldened line represents the average of all protocols. A Stroke volume (SV) percent change during progressively severe LBNP (i.e., hemorrhage model) and release of LBNP (i.e., rapid transfusion model). B Mean arterial pressure (MAP) percent change. C velocity time integral (VTI) from the wearable Doppler percent change. D corrected flow time (ccFT) percent change. E The optimal carotid artery maximum VTI threshold for distinguishing ≥  + 10% SV. Each data point represents a 10-s average. Prior to subsampling, there were 3596 data points categorized as <  + 10% SV and 598 data points categorized as ≥  + 10% SV. The data categorized as <  + 10% SV were randomly subsampled, iteratively 1000 times, to 598 data points (see methods). The sensitivity of maximum VTI is 532/598 = 89% and specificity is 598/598 = 100%. F The optimal ccFT threshold for distinguishing + 10% SV. Each data point represents a 10-s average. The sensitivity is 532/598 = 89% and specificity is 598/598 = 100%
