The actions of vasopressin are mediated by stimulation of tissue-specific G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) called vasopressin receptors that are classified into the V 1 (V 1A), V 2, and V 3 (V 1B) receptor subtypes. [1] These three subtypes differ in localization, function and signal transduction mechanisms. [2]

Although both vasopressors, vasopressin and epinephrine differ in that vasopressin does not have direct effects on cardiac contractility as epinephrine does. [18] Thus, vasopressin is theorized to be of increased benefit over epinephrine in cardiac arrest due to its properties of not increasing myocardial and cerebral oxygen demands. [18]
Cushing reflex (also referred to as the vasopressor response, the Cushing effect, the Cushing reaction, the Cushing phenomenon, the Cushing response, or Cushing's Law) is a physiological nervous system response to increased intracranial pressure (ICP) that results in Cushing's triad of increased blood pressure, irregular breathing, and bradycardia. [1]
Sympathomimetic drugs are used to treat cardiac arrest and low blood pressure, or even delay premature labor, among other things. These drugs can act through several mechanisms, such as directly activating postsynaptic receptors, blocking breakdown and reuptake of certain neurotransmitters, or stimulating production and release of catecholamines.

This same sympathetic outflow is increased to the sinoatrial node in the atria, which causes increased heart rate/cardiac output. These cardiopulmonary receptors also inhibits vagal stimulation in the vasoconstrictor center of the medulla resulting in decreased release of angiotensin , aldosterone , and vasopressin .
Vasopressin (antidiuretic hormone, ADH) is another vasopressor often used in combination with norepinephrine [10] Certain vasopressors ( ephedrine , norepinephrine ). Norepinephrine (Levophed) is the most common first-line vasopressor for people who don't respond well to other hypotension treatments such as fluid resuscitation.
