	Anesthetic methods for mammals - Patent 4659714
		In common practice, vasoconstrictors such as catchecolamines including epinephrine, norepinephrine and similar species together with other vasoconstrictors, may be added to anesthetics to prolong the duration of anesthesia in the highly vascular environment of the mouth.
		It is believed that an effect of the vasoconstrictor is to partially isolate the treated body portion from normal blood flow thus to cause increased residence time of the anesthetic agent in that locality.
		Subsequent to the application of anesthetic agent and co-application of vasoconstrictor, an alpha adrenoreceptor blocking agent is administered to cause substantial reduction or reversal of the prolongation of anesthetic effect in the area of the body to be treated.

	Vasoconstrictor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A vasoconstrictor, also vasopressor and simply pressor, is any substance or that acts to cause vasoconstriction (narrowing of the lumena of blood vessels) and usually results in an increase of the blood pressure.
		Vasoconstrictors are also used clinically to increase blood pressure or to reduce local blood flow.
		Vasoconstriction also occurs in superficial blood vessels of warm-blooded animals when their ambient environment is cold; this process diverts the flow of heated blood to the center of the animal, preventing the loss of heat.

	Local anesthetics
		Vasoconstrictors may not be used with certain types of blood pressure medications or tricyclic antidepressants.
		Vasoconstrictors are also not used in any body area in which the blood supply must "double back" on itself.
		The vasoconstrictor is the same as the naturally occurring "fight or flight" hormone adrenaline, and it is acting just like the release of natural adrenaline would to produce a heightened sense of awareness, nervousness and an increased heart rate.

		They compared the dermal vasoconstrictor response to increasing concentrations of both beclomethasone proprionate and cortisol in 11 normotensive controls and 11 hypertensives (4 of whom were on antihypertensive medications).
		The authors conclude that the increased vasoconstrictor response in hypertensives is due to an increase in sensitivity to cortisol.
		The dermal vessel vasoconstrictor sensitivity to these corticosteroids does not necessarily translate into a generalized effect that could be responsible for increasing blood pressure in Cushing s syndrome or essential hypertension.

	The Bosscher Foundation
		It is important to note that the presence of either vasoconstrictor or preservative in the anesthetic is not necessary for all forms of dental procedures.
		The addition of a vasoconstrictor causes a constriction of the blood vessel, which keeps the anesthetic in place longer, preventing it from "leaking away" to other parts of the body.
		In general doctors are recommended to administer minimum dosages of vasoconstrictor during treatment to prevent possible side effects in the cardiovascular or nervous systems.

	Prilocaine Hydrochloride Drug Information, Professional
		Vasoconstrictors are added to local anesthetic injections to decrease the rate of local clearance of the local anesthetic
		Vasoconstrictors decrease the rate of local clearance of the local anesthetic, thereby reducing the risk of systemic toxic reactions, prolonging the anesthetic effect, increasing the frequency of complete conduction blocks at low anesthetic concentrations, and permitting larger maximum single doses of anesthetic to be administered.
		Also, a vasoconstrictor should not be injected repeatedly at the same site for dental procedures because reduced blood flow and increased oxygen consumption in the affected tissues may cause tissue anoxia, delayed healing, edema, or necrosis at the injection site.

		Sympathetic neural control of skin blood flow includes the noradrenergic vasoconstrictor system and a sympathetic active vasodilator system, the latter of which is responsible for 80% to 90% of the substantial cutaneous vasodilation that occurs with whole body heat stress.
		Cutaneous sympathetic vasoconstrictor and vasodilator systems also participate in baroreflex control of blood pressure; this is particularly important during heat stress, when such a large percentage of cardiac output is directed to the skin.
		Mechanisms for reflex control of skin blood flow include sympathetic adrenergic vasoconstrictor nerves and sympathetic vasodilator nerves, the latter of which are responsible for 80% to 90% of the substantial cutaneous vasodilation during whole body heat stress.

	Topical compositions and methods for treatment of male impotence - Patent 5256652
		The composition in accordance with claim 14 wherein the vasoconstrictor is a member of the group consisting of epinephrine and phenylephrine.
		This may be accomplished either by the addition of a slow acting vasoconstrictor to the composition or by utilizing a mechanical device such as an external, tourniquet-like device which is placed around the shaft of the penis.
		The action of the vasoconstrictor should be time delayed to act upon the penis after the peripheral vasodilator has enhanced the maintenance of the penis erection This time delay may be accomplished by utilizing water-insoluble, lipophilic norepinephrine salts (such as benzoate) which will slowly be absorbed through the skin of the penis.

		The ensuing rise in tone of the endothelium-containing preparations that was not observed in the endothelium-denuded preparations provided an index of the ability of basal nitric oxide activity to suppress intrinsic tone in the vessels.
		The possibility that endothelium-derived vasoconstrictors were responsible for the greater levels of actual muscle tone in endothelium-containing than in endothelium-denuded rings was investigated using the mixed ET endothelin receptor antagonist SB209670, the cyclo-oxygenase inhibitor flurbiprofen or the lipoxygenase inhibitors curcumin, NDGA and MK-866.
		Consequently, in order to make a more appropriate comparison of the effects of the vasoconstrictors on endothelium-containing and endothelium-denuded rings, a new set of experiments was conducted in which the two groups of vessels were suspended at different levels of stretch but at similar levels of stretch-induced tone.

		Results of investigations in healthy subjects ruled out the possibility that antidromic vasodilation caused by activation of nociceptive afferents is responsible for the complete depression of sympathetic vasoconstrictor reflexes.

	Respiratory Research \| Full text \| Pulmonary vasoconstrictor action of KCNQ potassium channel blockers
		The pulmonary vasoconstrictor effects of linopirdine and XE991 appear to be mediated by a direct action on the smooth muscle cells of the vessel wall.
		Since KCNQ channel blockers are known to stimulate neurotransmitter release [14], it was important to check the potential involvement of neuronal KCNQ channels in the vasoconstrictor response, the blockade of which might result in transmitters being released from nerve endings in the artery wall.
		Since these are the main transmitters mediating electrical and contractile responses to nerve stimulation in rat intrapulmonary arteries [17,22], it is highly unlikely that neurotransmitters released in the vessel wall play a significant role in mediating the pulmonary vasoconstrictor effect of the KCNQ channel blockers.

	[Frontiers in Bioscience2, e28-33, May 15, 1997]
		The observed vasoconstrictor deficit could not be attenuated by endothelial denudation, suggesting that oxidants generated by the interaction of superoxide with nitric oxide were not major contributors to the vasoconstrictor dysfunction.
		Although the aforementioned studies provide evidence in support of oxidant mediated reductions in vasoconstrictor function, there is also evidence to suggest that the converse can also occur.
		Differences in enhanced and reduced vasoconstrictor responses may be related to the concentrations of reactive oxygen species that the vessels were subjected to.
