2) Anticipating and managing adverse rxns to medications
#SCCT2021 #YesCCT
3) Acute adverse rxns - generally occur w/in 20 min of contrast admin/exposure
- allergic rxns: oxygen, epinephrine, albuterol
- physiologic rxns (vasovagal): leg elevation, IVF, atropine
#SCCT2021 #YesCCT
4) Contrast extravasation
- RF: distal site injections & abnl circ
- sequelae: self-limited (24-48h), but can lead to skin comps & compartment syndrome (severe)
- eval: 👀promptly, focused exam
- TX: ⬆️above 🫀, compress, conting instructions, surgery if c/f CS

#SCCT2021 "Chance Favors the Prepared: Exam Prep & Safety" #YesCCT Rad to the 🦴(🫁 🫀) by Dr. Andrew Einstein @AndrewEinstein7 @CU_Cardiology
🧵:
#SCCT2021 #YesCCT
1) Dosimetry
☢️effects: Deterministic & Stochastic
Deterministic (AKA tissue reactions): rad-induced cell☠️, practical threshold dose, severity ⬆️w/ dose
Stochastic: rad-induced mutations, risk proport to dose (@ low doses), typical effects in DX imaging
#SCCT2021 #YesCCT
2) Dose
- Absorbed: average E imparted to matter vol by ionizing☢️/ mass of matter in vol
- wR:🧬effect of given absorb. dose based on type/quality of☢️emitted
- Equivalent = Absorbed✖️wR
- wT: prob of stochastic effects of equiv. dose based on tissue irradiatd
