Effects of Fasting versus Non-Fasting on Emetic Complications in Radiological Examinations Using Intravascular Non-Ionic Iodinated Contrast Media: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To compare the incidence of aspiration pneumonia, nausea, and vomiting after intravascular administration of non-ionic iodinated contrast media (ICM) between patients who fasted before contrast injection and those who did not.

Materials and methods

Ovid-MEDLINE and Embase databases were searched from their inception dates until September 2022 to identify original articles that met the following criteria: 1) randomized controlled trials or observational studies, 2) separate reports of the incidence of aspiration pneumonia, nausea, and vomiting after intravascular injection of non-ionic ICM, and 3) inclusion of patients undergoing radiological examinations without fasting. A bivariate beta-binomial model was used to compare the risk difference in adverse events betwe
