Non-cardiogenic pulmonary oedema after intravenous administration of non-ionic contrast media.
A case of adverse respiratory reaction to the i.v. injection of iohexol (300 mg I/ml, 131 ml in 4 min) in association with abdominal CT is described. The potentially pathogenetic mechanisms of pulmonary oedema induced by radiographic contrast media are discussed.
