Editor Note on Adrenaline: a Few Seconds and Life Saves
Journal Title: Journal of Clinical and Medical Research - Year 2020, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
Adrenaline is a hormone also called epinephrine, its purpose is to allow the body to overcome the "danger" perceived by the brain (it is the pituitary gland that requires the production of this hormone to the medulla adrenal glands (just above the kidneys)). Adrenaline has a short duration of action (of the order of two minutes) because it is rapidly degraded by two enzymes, catechol-oxymethyltransferase (COMT) and monoamine oxidase (MAO). Intravenous injection of adrenaline is used primarily to treat cardiac arrest, in small doses, used in anaphylactic shock .It intervenes particularly on the heart rate. Mixed with procaine, it was used in dentistry to perform local anesthesia. But at too high a dose, it acts on the heart to the point of causing death.
