Extravasation of Contrast Media
ثبت نشده
چکیده
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 whom extravasations occur recover without significant sequelae. Only rarely will a low-osmolality contrast media (LOCM) extravasation injury proceed to a severe adverse event.

Recognition and management of contrast media extravasation.
Intravenous contrast agents are frequent adjuncts used in diagnostic imaging. Despite the well-recognized complications of contrast media extravasation, its treatment remains an enigma to many. This article reviews the recognition, prevention and treatment options, with a summary of the contrast media extravasation policy implemented in our department.

متن کاملMRI and CT contrast media extravasation
BACKGROUND This systematic review combines data from multiple papers on contrast media extravasation to identify factors contributing to increased extravasation risk. METHODS Data were extracted from 17 papers reporting 2191 extravasations in 1,104,872 patients (0.2%) undergoing computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). RESULTS Extravasation rates were 0.045% for gadolin...
متن کاملCompartment syndrome presenting as ischemia following extravasation of contrast material.
A case of acute compartment syndrome of the forearm, resulting from contrast dye extravasation that presented as upper extremity ischemia, is described. Timely surgical intervention resulted in an excellent outcome. When extravasation of dye occurs, the patient should be evaluated for compartment syndrome despite the possible lack of typical symptoms.
متن کامل[Pelvic trauma: impact of iodinated contrast material extravasation at MDCT on patient management].
PURPOSE To determine the impact of iodinated contrast material extravasation at MDCT in selecting patients with pelvic fractures that require vascular embolization. PATIENTS AND METHODS All patients with severe pelvic fracture admitted to the trauma unit between 1998 and 2004 underwent contrast enhanced MDCT prior to additional specific treatment. All patients with extravasation underwent imm...
