Best Answer

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. Now, if someone were bleeding due to an injury, an increased heart rate will cause an increase in the blood loss. The reason that epinephrine is administered to a patient is usually for a sever allergic reaction or to restore a rhythm in cardiac arrest.
