Median tilt times and proportion of individuals surviving 70° head-up tilt (HUT) after administration of placebo (PLA) or octreotide (OCT). Both women (W) and men (M) demonstrated improvements in tilt time after administration of OCT, where 7 of 14 women and 10 of 16 men completed 45 min of tilt. Median tilt times were improved from 15.7 to 37.0 min (P < 0.05) for the women and 21.8 to 45.0 min (P < 0.05) for the men. There was no difference between the sexes in the median tilt time after the administration of OCT. *Difference between conditions, P < 0.05.
