Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  Inj Noradrenaline from 0 to 3 hours   Patients of sepsis with hypotension will be started on fluid therapy at 30 millilitre per kilogram as fluid bolus, fluid response will be assessed at 30 minutes and noradrenaline will be initiated intravenously at a rate of 0.25 to 0.5 microgram per kilogram per minute within 3 hours of presentation until mean arterial pressure of more than or equal to 65 millimeters of mercury is achieved  
Comparator Agent  Inj noradrenaline within 3 to 6 hours  Patients of sepsis with hypotension will be started on fluid therapy at 30 millilitre per kilogram which will be given as fluid bolus over 3 hour and if they persist to be in shock, noradrenaline will be started intravenously at a dose of 0.25 to 0.5 microgram per kilogram per minute from 3 to 6 hours of presentation until mean arterial pressure of more than or equal to 65 millimeters of mercury is achieved

Brief Summary   Recent retrospective evidence suggests the efficacy of early noradrenaline administration during resuscitation; however, prospective data to support this assertion are scarce.The information from this study will make it easier to comprehend how prompt vasopressor support is not only essential for survival but may also be linked to reversing organ failure and shortening hospital stays. Many studies have compared different vasopressor agents for the resuscitation of septic shock but very few have investigated the role that the timing of vasopressor initiation in relation to hypotension onset plays in outcome.Data in relation to the populations of India and Asia are still scarce.In order to make this research relevant to the Indian populace, we intend to conduct it at our institution.The aim of this study is to assess the difference in outcomes in patients with sepsis (SIRS > 2) receiving noradrenaline within 3 hrs and 3 to 6 hrs of emergency medicine department presentation. We hope to learn how the timing of noradrenaline delivery in patients of sepsis with hypotension affects mortality, recovery, hospital stay, need for ventilation and haemodialysis, through this study.
