How could epinephrine be used for someone bleeding from an injury?
Epinephrine is a hormone commonly known as Adrenalin. The body normally releases this during a time of stress, injury etc. The effects of epinephrine on the body are increased breathing rate, increased (systolic) blood pressure, increased heart rate.
