| ** '''Ok to give IV contrast if GFR>30'''
| |
| ** '''No need for GFR screening if age <60 with no pertinent history''' (AKI, CKD, HD with urine output, renal transplant, Metformin use)
| |
| ** If the GFR<30, ER physician should state in the CT order “Clinical History” or document in the chart that IV contrast is necessary and authorized.
| |
| *** Alternately, the '''CT tech may call the physician to confirm IV contrast is necessary and authorized, and CT tech should document this communication in the chart.'''
| |
| ** Screening for MRI contrast is unnecessary unless using Eovist for liver mets study (all ED Emergent studies should use Dotarem or Gadavist)
