[Acute respiratory distress syndrome after accidental inhalation of a hydrosoluble contrast medium].
Acute respiratory distress syndrome after accidental aspiration of hydrosoluble contrast medium is reported. In spite of pulmonary superinfection, the outcome was favorable after mechanical ventilation with permanent positive pressure. This case confirms previous reports and invites to extreme caution when such agents are used in patients with swallowing disorders and preexisting pulmonary disease.
