Management and Prevention of Hypersensitivity Reactions to Radiocontrast Media: A Consensus Statement from the American College of Radiology and the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology

Key outcomes from a multidisciplinary task force on hypersensitivity reactions to iodinated contrast media include recommendations to document reactions thoroughly in the electronic health record, including symptoms and the specific inciting agent, and a discussion of varying strategies for avoidance of repeat acute hypersensitivity reactions to iodinated contrast media according to the severity of the index reaction; importantly, no corticosteroid premedication is generally recommended for patients with a prior mild acute hypersensitivity reaction.
