Frequency of Iodinated Contrast Reactions in Patients undergoing CT Scan in the Vicinity of Islamabad and Rawalpindi

The aim of this observational study was to assess the occurrence of contrast reactions in patients who underwent contrast-enhanced CT scans with low-osmolar iodinated contrast media.The study involved 250 patients who received Contrast Enhanced Computed Tomography scans between July 2022 and September 2022.Data collection was carried out using a simple random sampling technique through a questionnaire.Based on the presence or absence of a contrast reaction, conclusions were drawn.Among the 250 patients, approximately 12% (30 patients) experienced a contrast reaction, while the remaining 88% (220 patients) did not.Recognizing contrast response signals promptly allows radiology personnel to identify the reaction type, facilitating quicker treatment and reversal of the contrast reaction.This contributes to mitigating adverse reactions associated with intravenous administration of Iodinated Contrast Media.
