Used to produce vasoconstriction and cardiac stimulation as an adjunct to correct hemodynamic imbalances in the treatment of shock that persists after adequate fluid volume replacement. (See Hypovolemia under Cautions.)

Has been used as as a quick-relief bronchodilator for symptomatic treatment of acute symptoms and exacerbations of bronchial asthma and reversible bronchospasm associated with chronic bronchitis, emphysema, and other obstructive pulmonary diseases. However, generally should be used only when selective β 2 -agonists are not readily available, since excessive cardiac stimulation (e.g., increased heart rate, myocardial irritability, increased oxygen demand) can occur with nonselective agents, particularly at high doses.

|
Used to increase cardiac output, BP, and urine flow as an adjunct in the treatment of shock that persists after adequate fluid volume replacement and when systemic vascular resistance is decreased. Individual hemodynamic abnormalities must be identified and monitored so that therapy can be adjusted as necessary.

VASOPRESSIN (vas oh PRES in) is a hormone that is normally made in the body. This medicine acts to lower the amount of urine that is made and to constrict small blood vessels. It is used to treat diabetes insipidus. It is also used to reduce stoma...

Exogenous antidiuretic hormone (ADH); maintains serum osmolality in normal range and acts as a vasopressor.

ADH is a test that measures the amount of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) in blood. ADH is found in the body, and it may be given as a medication.
|
|
Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) test, also called the Vasopressin test, is a test for the antidiuretic hormone, which is released from the pituitary gland and acts on the kidneys to increase their reabsorption of water into the blood.
