Postoperative period after off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB) can be a challenging area for emerging methods for less-invasive continuous hemodynamic monitoring. The primary goal of this study is to assess the accuracy of estimated stroke volume variation (esSVV, Nihon Kohden, Japan) compared with SVV determined by conventional pulse contour analysis (SVVPCA), respectively. All the measurements and tests will be performed: 1. In mechanically ventilated patients after OPCAB within two hrs after intervention: passive leg raising (PLR), increased PEEP, and mini-fluid load (mFL) tests will be followed by standard fluid load (sFL). Monitoring: SVVPCA, PPVPCA, esSVV, HLI, PVI, pre-ejection fraction (PEP, echocardiography), CIPCA, esCI and CISTD. Transthoracic echocardiography will be performed to assess the volume of heart chambers, ejection fraction and pre-ejection phase (PEP). 2. In spontaneously breathing patients at 18 hrs of the postoperative period: PLR, and mFL tests followed by sFL. Monitoring: SVVPCA, PPVPCA, esSVV, PVI, PEP, CIPCA, esCI and CISTD. Transthoracic echocardiography will be performed to assess the volume of heart chambers, ejection fraction and pre-ejection phase.
