Factors Affecting the Extravasation of Contrast Media from the Vein among Patients Undergoing Computed Tomography Scans at the Radiology Department, Yala Hospital
Keywords:
Extravasation, Contrast Media, VeinAbstract
This study aimed to examine the factors affecting the extravasation of contrast media from the vein in patients who underwent computed tomography (CT) scans at the Radiology Department, Yala Hospital. This research followed an etiognostic approach. The study population consisted of all patients who received intravenous contrast media, while the sample group included all patients who experienced contrast media extravasation. The sample size was calculated based on the number of patients treated at the Radiology Department from January 1, 2023, to December 31, 2023, totaling 420 cases. Simple random sampling was used for sample selection. The research instrument was a data recording form validated by three experts. Data were analyzed using percentages and multiple logistic regression analysis.
The study found that the incidence of contrast media extravasation occurred in 18 out of 420 cases, accounting for 4.29%. The factors significantly associated with contrast media extravasation (P-value < 0.05) were comorbidities (P-value < 0.001), level of consciousness (P-value < 0.001), and the volume and injection rate of contrast media (P-value < 0.002).
