About this study

Official title: Emergent Intravenous Dye Preparation for Acute Stroke Patients With a History of Intravenous Dye Allergy

Our institution implemented a protocol to administer an emergent IV dye preparation for stroke alert patients requiring advanced neuroimaging. The emergent IV dye preparation consists of diphenhydramine 50 mg IV once, famotidine 20 mg IV once, and dexamethasone 10 mg IV once, followed immediately by Computed Tomography (CT) Angiography and/or CT Perfusion.

Read the detailed description

Patients with documented IV dye allergy were given emergent dye preparation immediately prior to advanced neuroimaging that consisted of three drugs: diphenydramine 50 mg IV, famotidine 20 mg IV, and dexamethasone 10 mg IV. In contrast, elective dye preparation commonly done in non-emergent or outpatient settings is separated into two different options. The first option is for a patient to take Prednisone 50 mg three times prior to the study: one tablet by mouth 13 hours prior, one tablet by mouth seven hours prior, and the last tablet by mouth one hour prior to the study. The second option is for the patient to be prescribed dexamethasone 4 mg or 6 mg dispensed four times: two tablets by mouth 12 hours prior to the study and 2 tablets by mouth one hour prior to the study. If the patient is prescribed dexamethasone, they also take famotidine 150 mg and diphenhydramine 50 mg, both drugs by mouth 12 hours prior and one hour prior to the study.

To evaluate the relationship between dye allergy and any adverse reactions, our study's inclusion criteria consisted of all stroke alert patients from 2021-2022 who required advanced neuroimaging of CTP/CTA and received emergent IV dye preparation. Exclusion criteria included patients who reported dye allergies specific to airway edema or anaphylaxis. A retrospective chart review was done to evaluate stroke patient's stated allergies, the number of patients that received emergent IV dye preparation, and any adverse reactions despite the emergent IV dye preparation. Data was then analyzed to determine if there was a relationship between prior contrast dye allergy and allergic reactions that occurred after emergent IV dye administration.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Stroke and Dye Allergy, run by Global Neurosciences Institute at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Jun 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Adverse Reactions (time frame: 24 Hours). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 15 Jun 2023.
