Critical reflection on the indication for computed tomography: an interdisciplinary survey of risk and benefit management in patients with sepsis by Maria Isabel Opper Hernando, Denis Witham, Ann-Christine Stahl, Peter Richard Steinhagen, Stefan Angermair, Wolfgang Bauer, Friederike Compton, Andreas Edel, Jan Matthias Kruse, York Kühnle, Gunnar Lachmann, Susanne Marz, Holger Müller-Redetzky, Jens Nee, Oliver Paul, Damaris Praeger, Carsten Skurk, Miriam Stegemann, Alexander Uhrig, Stefan Wolf, Myrto Bolanaki, Kerstin Rubarth, Joachim Seybold, Elke Zimmermann, Marc Dewey, Julian Pohlan

“…Responders saw the strongest indication for contrast media administration in septic patients for (1) CT examinations of the abdomen (92.7%, n = 333/359) and (2) combined CT examinations of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis (94.1%, n = 337/358). While radiologists were most likely to consider manifest hyperthyroidism an absolute contraindication to contrast media administration (43.8%, n = 14/32), most other groups of physicians opted for appropriate preparation before contrast media administration in this subset of septic patients. …”
