Effectiveness of premedication for hypersensitivity reactions to radiocontrast media in one tertiary hospital
Results A total of 401 patients with a history of hypersensitivity reaction to RCM and were premedicated at re-exposure to RCM. Male was 177 (44.1%) and mean age was 55.83¡3⁄411.92 years.

Systemic steroid wa...
متن کاملThe Effectiveness of Automatic Recommending System for Premedication in Reducing Recurrent Radiocontrast Media Hypersensitivity Reactions
BACKGROUND Non-ionic radiocontrast media (RCM) is rarely associated with hypersensitivity reactions. Premedication of patients who reacted previously to RCM with systemic corticosteroids and/or antihistamines can help reduce recurrent hypersensitivity reactions. However, premedication is still not prescribed in many cases for various reasons. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of o...

متن کاملRadiocontrast media hypersensitivity in the Asia Pacific region
Radiocontrast media (RCM) is a major cause of drug hypersensitivity reactions as the medical application of RCM is increasing recently. RCM induced hypersensitivity reactions are considered as unpredictable type B reactions. Underlying mechanism of RCM induced hypersensitivity was previously regarded as nonimmunological mechanisms but recent studies suggest that immunological mechanisms could a...
متن کاملImmediate and delayed cutaneous reactions to radiocontrast media.
Hypersensitivity reactions to contrast media (CM) are frequent causes of anaphylaxis and drug exanthemas. Adverse events after CM exposure are classified into immediate (≤1 h) and non-immediate reactions (>1 h), with differing mechanisms. In the majority of patients with immediate reactions, IgE-mediated allergy cannot be demonstrated, and the underlying mechanism remains unknown. However, rece...
