Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Titration of vasopressors to achieve the prescribed mean arterial pressure (MAP) target from randomisation to day 90 of ICU admission, death, or ICU discharge

Three groups of prescribed one of three minimum MAP targets, 60, 65 or 70 mmHg. The aim will be to use the lowest amount of vasopressor possible to achieve the specified target. The titration of vasopressor to the prescribed minimum MAP will be performed by the treating team including the bedside nurse, and medical staff.

The choice of vasopressor is up to the treating clinician. Examples of vasopressors will be noradrenaline, vasopressin, metaraminol, phenylephrine, adrenaline, and angiotension II. All vasopressors will be administered by intravenous infusion.

The monitoring of MAP and adjustment of vasopressors will occur continuously.

Compliance will the study protocol will be monitored and reported back to sites by using the electronic medical records.

Comparator / control treatment
There will be three treatment groups that will be compared. There is no 'control' group with the three intervention groups being compared to each other.

For the purposes of this form, the 'comparator' will be 65 mmHg.
Control group
Active

Study design
Purpose of the study
Treatment
Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
A centralised web-based system (REDCap) will allow 24-hour enrolment and random allocation.
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
The coordinating centre will generate the random allocation sequence using a computer software program and embed it into the REDCap system.
Masking / blinding
Blinded (masking used)
