Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - Vasopressor
Other interventions - Fluids

Active comparator: Vasopressor - a restricted fluids and early vasopressor strategy

Active comparator: Fluids - a larger intravenous (IV) fluid volume and later vasopressor strategy


Treatment: Drugs: Vasopressor
Cease IV fluid resuscitation. If persisting hypotension and/or hypoperfusion commence a vasopressor infusion (e.g. noradrenaline) and titrate according to local practice to achieve target MAP. The target MAP will be determined by the treating clinician. Reassess at least hourly for up to 6 hours post-randomisation, then as clinically required in conjunction with the protocol. Boluses of 250ml of IV fluids are permitted if deemed indicated by the treating clinician.

Other interventions: Fluids
An fluid bolus of up to 1000ml will be administered over a maximum of 1 hour, if required, for persisting hypotension and/or hypoperfusion. Reassess at least hourly to 6 hours post-randomisation, then as clinically required in conjunction with the protocol. Further IV fluid boluses of 500ml are recommended as clinically indicated to achieve the target MAP. The target MAP will be determined by the treating clinician. Haemodynamic resuscitation will be guided by usual clinical assessment including vital signs, mentation, perfusion, and urine output until the treating clinician determines fluid resuscitation is no longer clinically required. A minimum of 2-3 L (30 ml/kg), including pre-randomisation fluids, is recommended within 3 hours of ED arrival consistent with the SSC guidelines, unless clinically contraindicated. Vasopressors may be commenced if blood pressure remains below target despite optimal fluid resuscitation as determined by the treating clinician.
