Positive and Negative agents
Positive: barium/iodine
Negative: Air/CO2
Chemotoxic reactions
results from the physiochemical properties of the CM, the dose, and the speed of injection
Idiosyncratic reactions
Mild: short duration and self-limiting.
-Difficulty breathing, light headache, pain at injection site
Moderate: not immediately life threatening, although they may progress to be so
-Feeling of warmth, hypertension, bradycardia
Severe: potentially or immediately life threatening
-Cardiac, respiratory arrest
