vasopressor
A vasopressor is a type of medication used to constrict (narrow) the blood vessels, thereby increasing blood pressure. They are primarily used in intensive care and emergency medicine to combat severe hypotension (low blood pressure), especially in critical situations such as shock or cardiac arrest. Vasopressors help to improve blood flow to vital organs. Common examples include adrenaline, dopamine, and noradrenaline.
