Contrast Reaction Now What Do I Do Online Course, web
06/29/2028

There are few clinical situations in most radiology practices or departments that require immediate medical intervention from a radiologist. The management of an adverse contrast reaction is one such situation. Some radiologists feel ill- prepared as "first responders" managing the first few critical minutes of life-threatening reactions until the rapid response team can arrive and take over caring for the patient.

This online course will present 14 clinical scenarios across two modules to better prepare radiologists in identifying and managing severe contrast reactions until the necessary clinical help arrives.
