Adverse Reactions to Contrast: A Review

摘要

The Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology (JRCERT) requires all accredited programs to follow an approved curriculum, as defined in Standard 3, Objective 3.2: the latest American Society of Radiologic Technologists [ASRT] professional curriculum and/or another professional curriculum adopted by the JRCERT Board of Directors following review and recommendation by the JRCERT Standards Committee. Adverse reactions to contrast media used in medical imaging are worthy of attention from health care providers and educators, particularly those who instruct students who will administer or oversee the administration of these substances. Because health care professionals play a key role in the initial management of a patient who experiences an adverse reaction to contrast media, they must be aware of common reactions as well as their treatments. Curricula that include education about adverse reactions to contrast media are in keeping with the shared safety goals of the JRCERT and ASRT.
