01/01/2022 - "There was not a significant reduction in the incidence of hypersensitivity reactions for patients receiving premedication and TDM (5.3% vs 6.4%, p = 1.0). "
04/01/2007 - "The present study was undertaken to standardize skin testing and to develop a safe and effective premedication protocol for administration of ERIG in those with skin test positivity/hypersensitivity. "
01/01/2022 - "Further investigation is warranted to assess the efficacy of a standardized premedication and TDM protocol to prevent hypersensitivity reactions."
01/01/2020 - "The most important recommendations are: (1) in all patients, a thorough medical history must be taken by the prescribing physician and/or the radiologist to identify at-risk patients; (2) in patients with hypersensitivity reactions to CM, the radiologist must consider an alternative, non-contrast imaging study with a comparable diagnostic value, or prescribe a different investigation with another class of CM; (3) if such options are not feasible, the radiologist must address at-risk patients to a reference centre for an allergy evaluation; (4) if timely referral to an allergist is not viable, it is recommended to use a CM other than the responsible one, taking into account cross-reactivity patterns; in the case of patients with histories of severe reactions, the presence of an anesthesiologist is also recommended and a premedication is suggested."
01/01/2019 - "One study reported lower rates of allergic reactions with premedication. "
