premedicationpercutaneous coronary interventionThe increased use of low osmolar or nonionic iodin-ated contrast media (ICM) during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has reduced the risk of contrast reactions. Premedication strategies involving corticosteroids and antihistamines can further reduce the ...
Pregnant patients can receive allergy premedication prior to a contrast-enhanced computed tomography exam if the exam is indicated. The risks and benefits of allergy premedication for pregnant patients will be discussed, as well as imaging strategies for the pregnant patient with a contrast allergy. ...
A standard oral premedication with prednisone and diphenhydramine should be administrated in patients with a high risk of allergic reactions [18]. Anaphylaxis during pregnancy is a relatively rare but potentially life-threatening event, which requires a prompt diagnosis and treatment to prevent both ...
