With the popularization of styling examinations, the use of contrast agents has become increasingly widespread, and they are often used in medicine. Although the likelihood of allergic reactions caused by contrast agents is relatively low, there is still a possibility of allergic reactions occurring. So, what are the allergic reactions and treatment methods for contrast agents?
If a patient is allergic to contrast agents, their body will show obvious reactions such as nausea, vomiting, headache, dizziness, urticaria, and facial flushing. Sometimes patients may even experience a series of allergic reactions such as coughing, runny nose, and difficulty breathing.
When a patient experiences an allergic reaction, the doctor should immediately stop injecting contrast agents into the patient and take appropriate measures to manage the allergic reaction. Pay close attention to whether there are signs of disappearance of allergy symptoms. If the symptoms continue to worsen, doctors need to take emergency measures, as well as the patient's respiratory condition, to avoid the occurrence of hypoxia, suffocation, and death.
If the patient's allergy is severe, the doctor should immediately stop the imaging examination and rescue the patient in a timely manner. It is best to keep the patient lying flat and provide them with oxygen inhalation, preferably through intravenous therapy, to directly prevent the aggravation of allergic reactions. Pay more attention to the patient's breathing and pulse to avoid endangering their life.
