Abstract
One hundred randomly selected patients undergoing routine excretory urography were assigned in double-blind fashion by alternate entry pairs to receive radiographic contrast media at 37 degrees C (Group I) or room temperature (Group II). There were three anaphylactoid reactions and five nonanaphylactoid reactions in Group I, and five anaphylactoid and eight nonanaphylactoid reactions in Group II, differences that were not statistically significant. No differences were detected between reactors and nonreactors. Thus, in this study, infusion temperature had no effect on the frequency of adverse reactions to radiographic contrast media during excretory urography.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
