Fig 1 Continuous MAP, CO, and SctO2 recordings from two selected patients. (a–c) Recordings during phenylephrine treatment. (d–f) Recordings during ephedrine treatment. Both agents were given during the first treatment. Vertical arrows indicate the drug administration time.

Fig 3 Grouped MAP (a), CO (b), and SctO2 (c) changes after the first and second phenylephrine (Phe) and the first and second ephedrine (Eph) treatments. The blue bars represent pretreatment values; the green striped bars represent post-treatment values. *P<0.01 (first treatment vs second treatment, unpaired Student's t-test).
