Overconsumption of contrast media in percutaneous coronary intervention: Focusing on cost and acute kidney injury
Irrational use of medicines is a major problem worldwide. Since iodixanol (Visipaque®) was categorized in Category I (AV) based on the ABC-VED analysis in our hospital, we evaluated the amount of visipaque use and estimated the incremental cost based on the maximum contrast dose (MCD) following irrational use of contrast media. This retrospective study was conducted on 100 admitted patients age...
متن کاملOn Analog Signature Analysisi
We formalize the problem of analog data compression and analyze the existence of a polynomial data compression function. Under relaxed conditions we explore the existence of a solution employing digital signature analysis in the analog domain.
متن کاملContrast Media: Are There Differences in Nephrotoxicity among Contrast Media?
Iodinated contrast agents are usually classified based upon their osmolality--high, low, and isosmolar. Iodinated contrast agents are also nephrotoxic in some but not all patients resulting in loss of glomerular filtration rate. Over the past 30 years, nephrotoxicity has been linked to osmolality although the precise mechanism underlying such a link has been elusive. Improvements in our underst...
متن کاملOrgan dose in kidney imaging with contrast media
Introduction:Intravenous urography (IVU) test includes high number of images and extended imaging size. These make IVU as a diagnostic method with high absorbed doses by sensitive organs such as intestine and gonads in pelvic-abdominal area. In this study absorbed doses of pelvic-abdomen sensitive organs such as Adrenal, Bladder, Colon and Gonads in IVU test. <stron...
متن کاملExtravasation of Contrast Media
Extravasated iodinated contrast media are toxic to the surrounding tissues, particularly to the skin, producing an acute local inflammatory response that sometimes peaks in 24 to 48 hours. The acute tissue injury resulting from extravasation of iodinated contrast media is possibly related primarily to the hyperosmolality of the extravasated fluid. Despite this, the vast majority of patients in ...
