    Net fluid balance (NFB) (A), plasma volume (B), and fluid extravasation rate (FER) (C) throughout 30-minute intervals during 60 minutes of normothermic cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) followed by 90 minutes of hypothermic CPB. Solid black columns and squares, High-flow group. White columns and squares, Low-flow group. The values are as mean ± SD. *P < .05 (between-group comparison).
