Working in an endovascular suite-
With the current contrast shortage we’ve been told we’re only allowed to use so much contrast each day, which gets to be a problem when some of the more intense cases need more than just a few injections. It hasn’t been a problem yet, but we’ve been cutting it close a few times where we finish the day with one or two injections worth of contrast left. Our bottles of visipaque are twice as big as our bottles of omnipaque so when we have leftover contrast it’s usually bigger. Obviously we shouldn’t give Omni to the patients who needed visipaque anyway, but is there a problem with giving visipaque to a patient if we already gave them a few injections of Omni? Our chief of vascular surgery says it’s not a good idea but wouldn’t elaborate on why and no one else here has ever heard of any issues with it. Just wondering if anyone here knows. Thank you!
