Schematic flowchart illustrating the experimental protocol. After baseline measurements, animals were bled until the stroke volume index (SVI) decreased by 50% (T 0). Then, measurements were repeated and the animals were randomized into the balanced crystalloid (Ringerfundin®, RF B. Braun AG) or colloid (Voluven®, HES) groups. The difference of the SVI T bsl − SVI T 0 was divided into four equal steps (T 1–4) and i.v. fluids were administered to reach these target values
