adrenaline shot

Crisis dose stimulant

An adrenaline shot is an injection of epinephrine, typically administered during severe allergic reactions or cardiac emergencies to stimulate the heart and open airways.

Figuratively, an adrenaline shot is anything that provides a sudden jolt of energy or excitement: The team's late goal was an adrenaline shot for the crowd.
