Table 2 Correlation (Chi-square values) between BNP, TUS and amount of fluids in the first 24 h

From: Thoracic ultrasound evaluation and B-type natriuretic peptide value in elective cesarean section under spinal anesthesia

	TUS	BNP at time 0	BNP at 24 h	Fluids > 1000 mL
TUS		0.22 (df = 1; p = 0.64)	0.48 (df = 1; p = 0.49)	0.87 (df = 1; p = 0.35)
BNP at time 0	0.22 (df = 1; p = 0.64)		4.09 (df = 1; p = 0.04)	0.87 (df = 1; p = 0.35)
BNP at 24 h	0.48 (df = 1; p = 0.49)	4.09 (df = 1; p = 0.04)		0.54 (df = 1; p = 0.46)
Fluids > 1000 mL	0.87 (df = 1; p = 0.35)	0.87 (df = 1; p = 0.35)	0.54 (df = 1; p = 0.46)
