Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Adult patients ≥ 18 years of age with CRH, defined as those who require a total sum catecholamine dose of > 0.2 mcg/kg/min for a minimum of 6 hours and a maximum of 48 hours, to maintain a MAP between 55-70 mmHg.
  • Patients are required to have central venous access and an arterial line present, and these are expected to remain present for at least the initial 48 hours of study.
  • Patients are required to have an indwelling urinary catheter present, and it is expected to remain present for at least the initial 48 hours of study.
  • Patients must have received at least 25 mL/kg of crystalloid or colloid equivalent over the previous 24-hour period, and be adequately volume resuscitated in the opinion of the treating investigator.
  • Patients must have clinical features of high-output shock by meeting one of the following criteria.
  • Central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO2) > 70% (either by oximetry catheter or by central venous blood gas) and central venous pressure (CVP) > 8 mmHg.

OR

  • Cardiac Index (CI) > 2.3 L/min/1.73 m2. Patient must meet 5a or 5b to be eligible.
  • Patient or legal surrogate is willing and able to provide written informed consent and comply with all protocol requirements.

Exclusion Criteria

  • Patients who are 20% of total body surface area (TBSA).
  • Patients with a Cardiovascular (CV) SOFA score ≤ 3.
  • Patients diagnosed with acute occlusive coronary syndrome requiring intervention.
  • Patients on veno-arterial (VA) ECMO.
  • Patients who have been on ECMO for less than 12 hours.
  • Patients in liver failure with a Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) score of ≥ 30.
  • Patients with a history of asthma or who are currently experiencing bronchospasm requiring the use of inhaled bronchodilators, if not mechanically ventilated.
  • Patients with acute mesenteric ischemia or a history of mesenteric ischemic.
  • Patients with a history of, presence of, or highly-suspected of having an aortic dissection or abdominal aortic aneurysm.
  • Patients requiring more than 500 mg daily of hydrocortisone or equivalent glucocorticoid medication as a standing dose.
  • Patients with Raynaud's phenomenon, systemic sclerosis or vasospastic disease.
  • Patients with an expected lifespan of 4 units of packed red blood cells.
  • Patients with active bleeding AND hemoglobin < 7g/dL or any other condition that would contraindicate serial blood sampling.
  • Patients with an absolute neutrophil count (ANC) of < 1000 cells/mm3.
  • Patients with a known allergy to mannitol.
  • Patients who are current participating in another interventional clinical trial.
  • Patients who are known to be pregnant at the time of Screening.
