LOPES, Cristina; TAVARES, Catarina; ROLLA, Inês  e  GOMES, Ernestina. Clinical protocol of management of hypersensitivity reactions to contrast media in Radiology. Rev Port Imunoalergologia [online]. 2019, vol.27, n.1, pp.41-54. ISSN 0871-9721.  https://doi.org/10.32932/rpia.2019.03.005.

Hypersensitivity reactions to contrast media (HSR) are infrequent, usually mild but potentially fatal. Although there are recommendations from Radiology, Intensive care and Allergology fields regarding its management, a clinical multidisciplinary protocol that integrates these complementary approaches is missing. We aimed to elaborate a protocol with adverse reactions definition, classification and risk factors identification and management of patients with HSR. A non-systematic revision of national and international guidelines was made regarding the management of hypersensitivity reactions, in order to elaborate a clinical consensus protocol to be used in different medical fields (Radiology, Allergology and Intensive care).
