Hi Nursegold and welcome to the SpanishDict forum

You might try something along the lines of:

Estoy tan emocionado (-a) por ajustar la dosis de varios vasopresores para mantener la vida de los pacientes.

In terms of Spanish medical terminology, I believe that the following are the most appropriate translations

To titrate something - ajustar el dosis de algo

Titration - escalonamiento or ajuste de dosis


Note:

Often the terms "titular (titrate)" and "titulación (titration)" can be seen employed by various sources, but it might be beneficial to recognize the contention, made by some, that this terminology represents a poor literal translation owing to the fact that many medical texts are edited almost exclusively in English.

...representan malas traducciones literales de términos ingleses, habida cuenta que las fuentes bibliográficas médicas se editan casi exclusivamente en inglés y que el 80% de las referencias bibliográficas de cualquier publicación médica están escritas en dicho idioma
