Figure 1

Box-and-whisker plots of the MAP. Data are plotted for the first hour after administration of 7.2% NaCl/HES 200/0.5 (HS) or mannitol 15% (M). In patients receiving 7.2% NaCl/HES 200/0.5, the MAP change was statistically significant compared with the value at the start of treatment († p < 0.05). The changes with mannitol were not statistically significant within the group, but significant after 30 min to HS (*p < 0.05). MAP, mean arterial pressure.
