3. Fig 2
Kaplan–Meier curves analysing the onset of maternal hypotension after induction of SA in both treatment groups. The graph shows a significant slower onset rate and lower rate of hypotension in the HES group, when compared with the RL group (P=0.006 by log-rank test).

4. Fig 3
Serial changes in maternal SAP and DAP after induction of SA. Data are presented as mean (sd). Both SAP and DAP were comparable between the groups at all time-points. Owing to clarity of illustration, for the HES group, only positive sd values and for the RL group, only negative sd values are pictured.
