Figure 3 Hemodynamic parameters. (A) Mean blood pressure in the patients who developed hypotension decreased significantly compared with the baseline value and remained lower until the end of the study compared with patients who did not (P=0.006). (B) However, HR was not significantly changed, remaining close to baseline values in all patients (P=0.972). BL – baseline; semi, semirecumbent position; PLR – passive leg raise position.
