Contrast Reaction: Now What Do I Do? Course
hosted byAmerican Roentgen Ray Society (ARRS)Contrast Reaction: Now What Do I Do? Course is organized by American Roentgen Ray Society (ARRS).
Expiration Date: June 29, 2028
Description:
Few clinical situations in most radiology practices or departments require immediate medical intervention from a radiologist. The management of an adverse contrast reaction is one such situation. Some radiologists feel ill-prepared as "first responders" managing the first few critical minutes of life-threatening reactions until the rapid response team can arrive and take over caring for the patient. This online course will present 14 clinical scenarios across two modules to better prepare radiologists for identifying and managing severe contrast reactions until the necessary clinical help arrives.
Video content for this Online Course will be available to view until June 29, 2028, which is ten years following the issuance date of this course. ARRS reserves the right to remove video content before the end of the ten year period. Video content that contradicts current science or misleads the viewer based on changes to accepted clinical practice may be removed on a case-by-case basis.
Learning Outcomes and Modules:
After completing this course, the learner should:
• be prepared and confident in the management of contrast media reactions, and in particular, the management of severe life-threatening contrast reactions
• describe the methods of evaluation and treatment of various contrast media reactions and the clinical indications for and doses of medication used
• discuss and review standard and acceptable alternative methods and doses of medications used in the prophylaxis of severe contrast media reactions in at-risk individuals
