Fig 1 Continuous arterial systolic (upper curve) and diastolic (lower curve) pressure 6 h after operation in a patient who experienced symptoms of orthostatic intolerance. Shift indicates changing from the previous position. British Journal of Anaesthesia 2009 102, 756-762DOI: (10.1093/bja/aep083) Copyright © 2009 British Journal of Anaesthesia Terms and Conditions
Fig 2 Changes in cardiovascular variables before operation (Pre) and 6 h after operation (Post) in orthostatic tolerant (Tol) and intolerant (OI) patients during a standardized mobilization procedure. One patient is not included after operation due to failure to mobilize because of pain. Leg up, 30° leg elevation; *P<0.05 compared with before operation; †P<0.05 compared with orthostatic tolerant patients 6 h after operation.
