|---|---|---|---|
| Median (IQR) | |||
| Saline bolus ml/kg | 0 (0,0) | 1 (0,1) | NS |
| Dopamine (μg/kg/min) | 12.8 (8.9, 16.0) | 17.3 (10.5, 18.5) | 0.10 |
| Dobutamine (μg/kg/min) | 0 (0.1) | 8 (0,11) | 0.14 |

Mean (IQR) values for total volume replacement and dopamine, dobutamine and adrenaline infusions. Analysis using Kruskal–Wallis equality of populations rank test revealed no evidence of a statistically significant difference between groups for volume replacement and inotrope use. NS = not significant.
