Literature analysis of 43 cases of death caused by non-ionic iodine contrast media
To analyze the characteristics and influencing factors of patient deaths caused by non-ionic iodine contrast media and provide recommendations for safe medication, thereby providing references for clinical application.
METHODS
2
Reports of fatal cases associated with non-ionic iodine contrast media were retrieved from databases including CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Embase, and SpringerLink. Statistical analysis was performed to examine the characteristics and influencing factors of these fatalities.
RESULTS
2
A total of 43 deaths caused by non-ionic iodine contrast media were retrieved, including 21 males (48.84%) and 22 females (51.16%). The majority of deaths occurred in 32 patients aged 51-85 years old (74.42%). The original diseases were mostly cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases (30.23%) and digestive system diseases (30.23%), and only 2 cases had a clear allergy history (4.65%). Among the lethal drugs, iohexol (37.21%) and iopromide (25.58%) accounted for the highest proportions. The main causes of death were anaphylactic shock (51.16%), cardiac arrest (11.63%), and pulmonary edema (11.63%); 48.84% of the patients’ ADR occurred within 30 minutes, and 62.79% of the patients died on the first day. It mainly involved the circulatory system, nervous system and respiratory system, and the main manifestations were breathing difficulties, low or undetectable blood pressure, vomiting, etc.
CONCLUSIONS
2
The lethal drugs of non-ionic iodine contrast media are mainly iohexol and iopromide. The adverse reactions occur quickly. Clinically, it is necessary to focus on monitoring the vital signs within 30 minutes after medication, and timely treatment of symptoms such as dyspnea and abnormal blood pressure to reduce the risk of death.
