Efficacy: Death from any cause or hemodynamic decompensation (or collapse)

Observe death from any cause or hemodynamic decompensation (or collapse) through 7-day follow-up, defined as need for cardiopulmonary resuscitation; or 1. SBP \< 90 mmHg for at least 15 minutes; or 2. drop in SBP by at least 40 mmHg for at least 15 minutes with signs of end-organ hypoperfusion (cold extremities or low urinary output \< 30 mL/h or mental confusion); or 3. need for catecholamine administration to maintain adequate organ perfusion and a SBP \> 90 mmHg (including dopamine at the rate of \> 5 micrograms / kg per minute).
