How can you use “vasoconstrictors” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

By analogy with the dose-response curves obtained in patients on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, it can be hypothesized that the presence of large amounts of circulating pulmonary vasoconstrictors in these patients led to the need for greater NO concentrations.
In addition, exogenous catecholamines, used to maintain arterial pressure during septic shock, interfere with hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction: vasodilators like isoproterenol or dobutamine tend to inhibit hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction whereas vasoconstrictors like dopamine, epinephrine or norepinephrine tend to reinforce hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction.
Finally, the maximum pulmonary vascular effect and the dose-response of inhaled NO on pulmonary artery pressure depends on many diverse factors that may be associated in a given patient: type and concentration of circulating pulmonary vasoconstrictors and vasodilators (endogenous and exogenous); relative importance of 'fixed' and 'nonfixed' components of pulmonary artery hypertension; and loss of lung volume.
Patients with liver cirrhosis often present with systemic hemodynamic disturbances, including hypotension, low SVR, and a reduced sensitivity to vasoconstrictors [ 10].
It has been suggested that pulmonary vasoconstrictors are continuously activated by the extracorporeal circuit and released into the circulation, thus contributing to pulmonary hypertension [ 36, 37, 38, 39].
