Legend to Web Table 9. The numbers of episodes per patient are presented as follows. The top row is the mean (Standard Deviation)  number of episodes; the middle row is the median and the lower row is the range. If only one row is present within a cell it represents the mean (Standard Deviation). There were no significant differences among the five groups for any hemodynamic event. A similar analysis was performed from induction of anesthesia to skin incision and there were no statistically significant differences among the five groups.

Legend to Web Table 10. Values are presented as follows: within each cell the top row is the Mean (Standard deviation), the second row is the median value and the bottom row is the range. If only one row is present within a cell it represents the mean (Standard Deviation). There were no significant differences among the five groups for any of the cardiovascular drugs (percentage of patients, number of bolus injections or cumulative doses).
