Mechanism of nor adrenaline :

Along with adrenaline it increases heart rate and blood pumping into the heart.It also increases the blood pressure and helps in break down of fats and increase the energy of the body .

Noradrenaline infusion:
Noradrenaline infusion via central venous catheter to minimise the risk of extravasation and subsequent tissue necrosis.

Dengue shock syndrome:

Severe dengue occurs as a result of secondary infection with a different  virus serotypes.Increased permeability, together with myocardial dysfunction and dehydration contribute to development of shock with resultant of multi organ failure.
