Table 3 Correlations of changes in MFI and PPV of small vessels with changes in hemodynamic parameters during the first RIC procedure

Variable	dMFIs	p	dPPVs	p
dMAP	0.08	0.698	− 0.30	0.874
dHR	− 0.20	0.326	− 0.20	0.334
dCI	0.79	0.004	0.49	0.125
dScvO₂	0.01	0.999	− 0.10	0.626
dLactate	0.06	0.784	− 0.38	0.854

The Spearman correlation coefficient was presented. dMFIs changes in microvascular flow index of small vessels, dPPVs changes in the proportion of perfused small vessels, dMAP changes in mean arterial pressure, dHR changes in heart rate, dCI changes in cardiac index, dScvO₂ changes in central venous oxygen saturation, dLactate changes in arterial lactate
