During the editing of the article by Chiam et al. 1 an error was introduced in the Figure legends. The colours for mannitol and normal saline were switched in each of the five figure legends, resulting in the discrepancies which Westergren and Debernard have reported 2. The green markers actually denote mannitol, while the red markers denote normal saline.
The journal apologises to the authors and readers for the error.
The authors would like to thank Drs Westergren and Debernard 2 for drawing attention to the errors in the article.
