Or are the one and the same? 

 

Example: 

 

The infant is on pressor/pressure support (cardiac section). 

 

I get both on google.  Could you give me an example of when you would use either of these? 

 

Any help clearing this up would be MUCH appreciated!   TIA!

Or are they the same thing?  Dictator says that the infant is gradually weaned from pressure OR pressor support and transferred to p.o. medications.  The infant has congestive heart failure. 

 

The dictator has a very strong accent which makes it even more difficult... he could be saying either.  Thanks for any help!
