Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  Norepinephrine  One arm of the study will be neonates with fluid refractory septic shock who will be treated with Norepinephrine. Standard dose of drug will be used, starting from 0.07mcg/kg/min and will be stepped up by 0.06mcg/kg/min till improvement in shock is seen or till 1 hour of starting. If no improvement is noted, other inotropes will be considered depending on the status of the patient 
Intervention  Vasopressin  One arm of the study will be neonates with fluid refractory septic shock who will be treated with Vasopressin. Standard dose of drug will be used, starting from 0.2mU/kg/min and will be stepped up by 0.2mU/kg/min till improvement in shock is seen or till 1 hour of starting. If no improvement is noted, other inotropes will be considered depending on the status of the patient
