Chapter 33 - it’s not all iodine and shellfish - A fresh take on contrast related anaphylaxis
Dr. Ronna Campbell, professor of emergency medicine, and passionate anaphylaxis researcher schools Alex and Venk on several issues related to contrast-related anaphylaxis. She helps clarify an approach to managing ED situations where a contrasted CT is desired yet the patient has documented anaphylaxis to iodine, or how to treat a patient who returns with unexpected reaction after receiving contrasted imaging. Can you be allergic to Iodine? What is the relationship between shellfish allergy history and contrast? What is the role of steroids in anaphylaxis management? These are just some of the questions that we answer in this discussion.
