Abstract:
Research in prehospital and in-hospital emergency medicine is essential to the development of this discipline. By calling certain practices into question (thrombolysis for minor strokes, use of coagulation factors for patients with severe polytrauma), providing access to new technologies (video-laryngoscopy, POCT troponins in pre-hospital care) or questioning new practices (double defibrillation, pulmonary US in pneumonia), research enables emergency physicians to adapt their day-to-day practice.

Adrenergic Agonists: Therapeutic Uses
Emergency and Intensive Care Unit (ICU) applications: Pressor agents increase blood pressure, heart rate, and contractility in shock and organ failure situations. Dopamine can induce vasodilation and stimulate adrenoceptors. Endogenous catecholamines are effective in treating cardiogenic shock. α2-agonists like clonidine can reverse anesthesia-induced hypertension.
