Study design
Purpose of the study
Treatment
Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
All potential subjects will be made aware of participation in this study by verbal information (staff nurse and investigators) and written information (patient information sheet).

Should subject agrees to enrolment in this study, he/she will be randomised to either the Treatment Group or the Control Group based on computer-generated central randomisation. Allocation is thus concealed.
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
Computer-generated algorithm.
Masking / blinding

Statistical methods / analysis
We retrospectively audited intraoperative blood pressures of 200 colonoscopy patients prior to the actual study. We used previous investigators’ criteria to define hypotension, which is a drop in systolic blood pressure of 25% or more from the baseline, and that one reading was sufficient to define hypotension. Of the 200 patients, 101 had hypotension (50.5%), and 99 did not (49.5%). Based on the control event rate of 50.5% and an estimated experimental event rate as low as 25%, a sample size requirement to be 60 patients per group provides 80% power to detect this difference, assuming a Type 1 error rate of 5%.
Differences between groups at baseline were assessed using t-tests for normally distributed variables and chi-square tests or Fisher exact tests for discrete variables, as appropriate. The difference in incidence between groups was then assessed using a chi-squared test without continuity correction.
We also conducted a multivariable secondary analysis on hypotension, adjusting for group assignment, gender, age, American Society of Anesthesiologist (ASA) status, body mass index (BMI), systolic blood pressure, right atrial pressures, diabetes mellitus, presence of hypertension, hypercholesterolaemia, cardiac comorbidities, renal comorbidities, and respiratory comorbidities, using logistic regression analysis. Model fit was assessed using the Hosmer-Lemeshow statistic. A p-value less than 0.05 (two-tailed) was accepted as significant with 95% confidence intervals reported. Analyses were conducted using Stata 14.0 (StataCorp, College Station, Texas.)
