Conditions
Interventions
Phlebotomy with or without volume replacement. Each patient serves as his or her own control. The hemodynamic measurements from before the phlebotomy (500ml) are compared to the hemodynamic measuremen

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The principal endpoint is defined as the difference in AIx (≥4%) before and after phlebotomy while standing. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Difference in central BP before and after phlebotomy while standing • Differences in AIx and central BP before and after phlebotomy while supine • Differences in AIX and central BP following the effects of counter manoeuvres (leg crossing and thigh compression) before and after phlebotomy while standing • Differences in stroke volume, heart rate and systemic vascular resistance before and after phlebotomy while supine and after standing • Differences in forward and backward wave analysis before and after phlebotomy while supine and after standing • Differences in baroreflex sensitivity before and after phlebotomy while supine and after standing • Differences in AIx and central BP after phlebotomy and after compensatory saline infusion while supine and after standing • Differences in stroke volume, heart rate and systemic vascular resistance after phlebotomy and after compensatory saline infusion while supine and after standing • Differences in forward and backward wave analysis after phlebotomy and after compensatory saline infusion while supine and after standing • Differences in forward and backward wave analysis after phlebotomy and after compensatory saline infusion while supine and after standing • Differences in AIX and central BP following the effects of counter manoeuvres (leg crossing and thigh compression) minutes after phlebotomy and after compensatory saline infusion • Difference in microcirculation before and after phlebotomy with or without volume replacement. | — |
