Contrast media extravasation injury: a prospective observational cohort study

ConclusionRisk factors for moderate contrast media extravasation injury are malignant tumors, iohexol, large-volume (>  50 mL) extravasation, and back-of-the-hand injection. Analysis of these risk factors can help reduce the degree of injury after extravasation.Clinical relevance statementHigh-risk patients with extravasation support should choose the appropriate contrast media type, avoiding back-of-the-hand injections. We recommend that patients with cancer be implanted with a high-pressure resistant central venous catheter and receive effective measures to timely detect and reduce extravasation.
