  1. BMI = Body mass index, MAP = mean arterial pressure, HR = heart rate, bmp = beats per minute, CI = cardiac index, SVRI = systemic vascular resistance index, SVI = stroke volume index
  2. Data are expressed as mean ± standard deviation or number
  3. Baseline values are defined as average of the first 5 min of measurements before neuraxial anesthesia
