A member asked:
Can ct contrast be used in an emergency setting or is that contradicted? are there any pre existing medical conditions that wound be complicated?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
CT contrast: is frequently used in the emergency setting. The relative contraindications are the same as in the non emergent setting, notably a history of prior allergic reaction to contrast, multiple allergies, and renal insufficiency, among others. Even so, if contrast is critical, pre-treatment regimens and even dialysis can be employed if necessary.
