L-arginine: L-arginine will be dispensed intravenously (IV) in the standard dose of 100 mg/kg three times a day until discharge from the emergency department (ED) or hospital.
Loading Dose and L-Arginine
Participants will be randomized to receive an intravenous (IV) infusion of one-time loading dose of L-arginine (200 mg/kg) followed by standard dose (100 mg/kg) three times a day until time of discharge from the emergency department (ED) or hospital. L-arginine: L-arginine will be dispensed intravenously (IV) in the standard dose of 100 mg/kg three times a day until discharge from the emergency department (ED) or hospital. L-arginine Loading Dose: One loading dose of L-arginine will be dispensed intravenously (IV) at 200 mg/kg
Placebo
Participants will be randomized to receive an intravenous (IV) infusion of placebo (normal saline 1-2 ml/kg) three times a day until time of discharge from the emergency department (ED) or hospital. Placebo: Placebo of intravenous (IV) normal saline 1-2 ml/kg three times a day until discharge from the emergency department (ED) or hospital.
