Use of adrenaline in woundcare, illustration. The sign at left indicates that the hormone and drug adrenaline (epinephrine) should not be injected at the site of this wound (here, on the patient's hand). This refers to the advice sometimes given to use adrenaline in low concentrations with a local anaesthetic to help reduce bleeding from wounds. However, some wounds where the blood supply is compromised should not be treated this way as the adrenaline may have adverse effects. | |
