Blood pressure

	Baseline	3 h after surg prep	1.5 h after start of treatment	3 h after start of treatment
Bolus + infusion group (n = 9)	96 ± 11	92 ± 12	99 ± 14	96 ± 13
Bolus group (n = 9)	88 ± 15	91 ± 12	92 ± 16	90 ± 13
Sham group (n = 9)	95 ± 12	90 ± 11	94 ± 7	93 ± 7

Data (mean ± SD) for mean arterial blood pressure (mmHg) at baseline, at 3 h after the surgical preparation and at 1.5 and 3 h after the start of treatment. There were no differences between any of the groups at any time points. Two-way ANOVA for repeated measures followed by Bonferroni post hoc test was used for the statistical analyses.
