Trial summary

The prevalence of nausea and vomiting after the administration of non-ionic contrast media has rarely been assessed. Thus, the aim of our study is to evaluate the prevalence and risk factors of nausea and vomiting after the exposure to the non-ionic contrast media for computed tomography examinations in adults.

About this study

Official title: Immediate Nausea and Vomiting After the Administration of Non-ionic Contrast Media: Prevalence and Risk Factors

The prevalence of nausea and vomiting after the administration of non-ionic contrast media has rarely been assessed. Thus, the aim of our study is to evaluate the prevalence and risk factors of nausea and vomiting after the exposure to the non-ionic contrast media for computed tomography examinations in adults.

Read the detailed description

There is no robust evidence or guideline for fasting prior to contrast-enhanced CT scan in patients. Substantial heterogeneity exists on fasting prior to contrast-enhanced CT worldwide. Through dedicated questionnaires, the investigators plan to prospectively assess the prevalence and the risk factors for nausea and vomiting after the exposure to the non-ionic contrast media agent in adult patients undergoing computed tomography examinations.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Prevalence of immediate nausea or vomiting after contrast injection

    Patients will be observed for 30 minutes after the administration of the contrast media agent and medical staffs will record and evaluate the patients' status and the severity of gastrointestinal reaction to the contrast media agent such as nausea or vomiting.

    Measured: For 30 minutes after administration of non-ionic contrast media

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Prevalence of immediate nausea or vomiting after contrast injection (time frame: For 30 minutes after administration of non-ionic contrast media). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03019341, which also lists 2 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?
