25
Q

Ionic contrast contains how many iodine atoms

A

3

26
Q

Anions

A

Negatively charged particles

27
Q

Cations

A

Positively charged particles

28
Q

What are ionic contrasts known to do

A

Bond to something such as blood

29
Q

When were non-ionic contrasts introduced

A

1980s

30
Q

Why are non-ionic used with pt with higher risk for reactions

A

Because is doesn’t dissociate

31
Q

Most departments use– exclusively

A

Water-soluble Iodine Non-ionic Contrast

32
Q

Water-soluble iodine compounds

3 features of ionic that is different than non-ionic

A
  1. Dissociates into separate ions when injected
  2. Creates hypertonic condition
  3. Increases blood osmolarity
33
Q

Water-soluble iodine compounds

3 features of non-ionic that is different than ionic

A

Does not dissociate when injected
Remains isotonic
No significant increase in blood osmolarity

34
Q

Hypertonic solution

A

is one where the concentration of solutes is greater outside the cell than inside it.

35
Q

Isotonic

A

one in which the concentration of solutes is the same both inside and outside of the cell.
Does not change blood composition

36
Q

Osmolality

A

Concentration of particles in a solution

37
Q

What is the Osmolality of blood

A

300 milliosmol per kg

300 mOsm/kg

38
Q

Example of ionic monomer

A

Diatrizoate and sodium salt

39
Q

Osmolality of ionic monomers

A

Diatrizoate is considered a high-osmolality contrast agent 1530 mOsm/kg

40
Q

Osmolality of non-ionic dimmer Iotrolan and iodixanol

A

290 mOsm/kg

41
Q

The lower the Osmolality contrast means

A

Less chance of reaction to contrast

42
Q

Osmolality of isotonic

A

Solution has the same Osmolality as plasma

43
Q

Osmolality of hypertonic

A

Greater Osmolality than plasma (ionic contrast)

44
Q

Osmolality of hypotonic

A

Less Osmolality than plasma

45
Q

Who is at risk for contrast mediA reactions ; 6

A
  1. Hx of allergies esp shellfish, seafood,iodine products
  2. Asthma, hay fever
  3. Pts with previous adverse reactions
  4. Over 60 y/o
  5. Cardiac disease
  6. African American
46
Q

What lab levels do we check before contrast

A

BUN
GFR
Creatinine

47
Q

What is SFMC premedication to prevent reactions

A

Prednisone 50mg orally every 6 hours;
Starting 13 hours before contrast: 1 dose at 13 hours
1 dose at 7 hours
1 dose at 1 hour
Total of 150 mg
Benedryl (Diphenhydramine). 50 mg orally 1 hours before contrast

48
Q

Vasovagal response

A

When the contrast media stimulates the vagus nerve causing cardiovascular changes

49
Q

Signs of vasovagal response

A

Increase in vasodilation of arterioles.
Diaphoresis, sinus bradycardia, hypotension
May be life threatening but usually not

50
Q

Anaphylaxis or anaphylactic reaction is a

A

serious allergic reaction that is rapid in onset and may cause death.

51
Q
