  1. aData are given as median (25th-75th percentiles)
  2. *Significance was also found after adjustment for multiple comparisons
  3. P-values are given when 0.001 < P <0.05
  4. Abbreviations: NS, non-significant; CS, cesarean section; MAP, mean arterial pressure; HR, heart rate; SV, stroke volume; CO, cardiac output; TPR, total peripheral resistance
