Arm 2
Experimental
Active Comparator
Norepinephrine plus Isotonic Fluids
Isotonic Fluids
The treatment group will receive a continuous infusion of norepinephrine at 0.10 mcg/kg/min started 2-5 minutes prior to Rapid Sequence Intubation (assuming normal systolic blood pressure 90-140mmHg) in addition to a standard fluid bolus of Lactated Ringers or Normal Saline or Plasmalyte at 999 mL/hr.
The control group will receive an infusion of Lactated Ringers or Normal Saline or Plasma-Lyte with at least 500 mL at 999 ml/hr 2-5 minutes prior to Rapid Sequence Intubation.
