To evaluate the hemodynamic response to SB in isolation, events in which vasopressors were administered the minute before, during or after the first dose of SB were excluded. The primary outcome was the change in diastolic blood pressure (DBP). Patients were classified as SB responders if DBP increased \u22655 mmHg. To assess for a potential enhancement on vasopressor efficacy, a secondary analysis was performed examining the difference-in-difference between the DBP response to epinephrine before and after SB administration.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Thirteen patients were included in the primary analysis, with a median DBP change of 4 mmHg (95% CI: \u22123, 11 after SB administration (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 0.31).
