A statistically significant difference in the mean arterial pressure was noted between the interventions at day 2 (mean difference [MD], −4.53 [95% CI, −7.69 to −1.36]; P = .005). Statistically significant differences in the heart rate between the interventions was noted at day 1 (MD, −8.66 [95% CI, −13.20 to −4.12]; P < .001) and day 4 (MD, −8.68 [95% CI, −14.73 to 2.62]; P = .003).
