What is the recommended approach to record the total volume of contrast used for each case?
Current guidelines recommend that procedural radiation dose should be recorded for all patients and should be limited to as low as reasonably achievable, according to clinical circumstances. In addition, the writing committee designated that the total amount of contrast volume administered to a patient should be documented clearly in the procedure report in order to serve as the first step toward understanding and modifying patterns of contrast use in cardiac catheterization laboratories.
