Results The systolic pressure decreased 20 minutes after immersing compared with that just immersing, but all above 60 mmHg. The systolic and diastolic pressure maintained in a satisfactory range during whirlpool-bubble bath. Conclusion Hypotension has not been found in the patients with PVS during whirlpool-bubble bath.
