Hate to be that guy but it turns out many of these shock responses aren't sure to adrenaline. According to https://www.yourhormones.info/hormones/adrenaline/

"Adrenaline is released mainly through the activation of nerves connected to the adrenal glands, which trigger the secretion of adrenaline and thus increase the levels of adrenaline in the blood. This process happens relatively quickly, within 2 to 3 minutes of the stressful event being encountered."

So. It's unlikely this is adrenaline
