ruq, acut chole, chronic chole, gbef, post chole leak, sod dysfunction

binds to albumin and carried to liver

npo for 4-6 hours but less than 24 hours

4-6 hours after narcotics

use morphine if you visualize the intesting but no gall bladder at 30-60 minutes. after admin if gallbladder is seen then chronic chole if not seen then acute

cck give 30 minutes prior if pt npo for > 24 hours. give during study to calculate GBEF. dont use after morphine

ensure plus 237 ml to ensure ef with no cck
