Eligibility Criteria Checklist
Specific guidelines that determine who can or cannot participate in a clinical trial Must have
Patients admitted to the ICU within 12 hours of presentation to the emergency department for septic shock requiring 15-25 mcg/min of norepinephrine. Septic shock will be defined as having a known or presumed infection with two or more criteria of systemic inflammatory response syndrome, a mean arterial pressure <65 mm Hg despite fluid resuscitation requiring vasopressor support, and a serum lactate >2 mmol/L. Criteria of systemic inflammatory response syndrome include a temperature >100.4°F or <96.8°F; heart rate >90/min; respiratory rate >20/min and a white blood cell count >12,000/mm3 or <4,000/mm3.
Be older than 18 years old
Must not have
Age <18 years
Requiring >25 mcg/min of norepinephrine or on any vasopressor other than norepinephrine at study enrollment

Summary
"This trial will evaluate the effectiveness of using angiotensin-II as a secondary medication for septic shock in adults. It is uncertain when to start this medication and how it compares to other vasop
Who is the study for?
This trial is for ICU patients who arrived with septic shock within the last 12 hours, needing moderate norepinephrine doses. They must have a suspected infection, low blood pressure after fluids, need vasopressors, and high lactate levels. Excluded are those not meeting these specific criteria.
What is being tested?
The study tests if adding Angiotensin-II as a second drug improves blood pressure in adults with septic shock already taking norepinephrine. It compares early versus later addition of this drug to see which is more effective.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include abnormal blood pressure changes, kidney function alterations, and potential interactions with other medications used for treating septic shock.
