Iodinated contrast media and their adverse reactions.
Cross-use of technology between nuclear medicine and radiology technologists is expanding. The growth of PET/CT and the increasing use of intravenous contrast agents during these procedures bring the nuclear medicine technologist into direct contact with these agents and their associated complications. A basic understanding of the occurrence, risk factors, clinical features, and management of t...
متن کاملPrevention and Management of Adverse Reactions Induced by Iodinated Contrast Media.
Iodinated radiocontrast media (IRCM) is widely used in current clinical practice. Although IRCM is generally safe, serious adverse drug reactions (ADRs) may still occur. IRCM-induced ADRs may be subdivided into chemotoxic and hypersensitivity reactions. Several factors have been shown to be associated with an increased risk of ADRs, including previous contrast media reactions, history of asthma...
متن کاملCorrelation between the adverse reactions to intravenous iodinated contrast media and IgE levels.
PURPOSE The adverse reactions of the iodinated contrast media are believed to be non-IgE mediated and the result of triggering of the release of the mast cell mediators directly. However, the exact mechanism is still controversial and purpose of this prospective study is not only to determine any possible correlation of adverse reactions with total baseline blood IgE levels, but also to investi...
متن کاملTaxanes as a risk factor for acute adverse reactions to iodinated contrast media in cancer patients.
BACKGROUND The impact of cytotoxic agents on the risk of acute allergy-like adverse reactions (ARs) to intravenous iodinated contrast media (ICM) injections is unknown. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 13,565 computed tomography (CT) scans performed in a consecutive cohort of cancer patients from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2012. Episodes of acute ICM-related ARs were reported to the p...
متن کاملImmediate adverse reactions to intravenous iodinated contrast media in computed tomography.
This exploratory-descriptive, non-experimental quantitative research aimed to learn about immediate adverse reactions to intravenous iodinated contrast media in hospitalized patients submitted to computed tomography at a teaching hospital in the South of Brazil. During the study period, all adverse reactions showed mild intensity, at a frequency of 12.5% with ionic iodinated contrast media, and...
