Fifty-four patients were used to train the model, which was then validated in 176 patients. Three simulated monitoring situations were constructed by downsampling the physiologic data set to exclude all SvO<sub>2</sub> sources (scenario A); all PAC data but allowing for SvO<sub>2</sub> values (scenario B); and all PAC data, including SvO<sub>2</sub> and cardiac index (CI) (scenario C).
