Median (range) or number (percentage), where appropriate; CV SOFA = cardiovascular sequential organ failure assessment score, MAP = mean arterial pressure, CI = cardiac index, PAOP = pulmonary artery occlusion pressure, CVP = central venous pressure, SvO2 = mixed or central venous O2 saturation, PT = prothrombin time, aPTT = activated partial thromboplastin time.
