Empirical cumulative distribution functions. Empirical cumulative distribution functions for four physiological variables grouped according to whether pressors were being administered (red) or not (blue). (a) Finger stick glucose readings do not differ significantly. (b) Core body temperature undergoes a statistically significant difference but is unlikely to be clinically significant. (c) Muscle oxygen tension and (d) muscle lactate:pyruvate ratio both show statistically significant changes upon administration of pressors and the changes appear to be clinically different as well.
