| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Most common reaction to iodinated contrast media is | Hives |
| Comparing ionic & non-ionic contrast media, which tends to have higher osmolarity | Ionic |
| From the ventricles, blood is pushed into the | Pulmonary artery and aorta |
| Measurement of oxygen saturation of blood done with what | Pulse oximeter |
| During an IV injection of contrast media, pt complains of tightness and burning in the area of the injection, what's yr immediate response | Discontinue injection and check for signs of extravasation |
| What type of contrast media is the only one that's safe for IV injection | Water-soluable iodine |
| Pt is considered hypoxic if blood oxygen saturation falls below | 90% |

| Drug likely used for emergency treatment for severe allergic reaction to iodinated contrast media | Epinephrine |
| Barium sulfate is categorized as a suspension b/c of this, the tech should follow what practice | It must be shaken or mixed prior to use to redistribute the particles within the solution |
| Iodine contrast media described as non-ionic is also associated with lower osmolarity-T/F | True |
| Iodine contrast media is made less toxic and more tolerable to the human body by doing what to it | Binding the iodine atoms to a benzene ring |
| A decrease in renal function following administration of IV contrast media is called | Nephrotoxicity |
