    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Pharmacology
    • Critical Care Medicine

    Background:

    • Intravenous contrast media and penicillin are commonly used in urological procedures.
    • Adverse drug reactions can pose significant risks to patient safety.
    • Understanding these reactions is vital for appropriate clinical management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present cases of life-threatening adverse reactions to intravenous contrast media and penicillin.
    • To highlight the clinical presentation and management of these reactions, particularly hypotension.
    • To increase urologists' awareness of potential drug-induced complications.

    Main Methods:

    • Case series presentation of three patients experiencing adverse reactions.
    • Detailed description of clinical signs, symptoms, and diagnostic findings.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Documentation of treatment interventions and patient outcomes.

    • Main Results:

    • Hypotension was the predominant adverse event in all three cases.
    • Reactions presented with prolonged hypotension requiring extensive fluid resuscitation.
    • One case demonstrated a delayed onset of hypotension by one hour.

    Conclusions:

    • Urologists must be vigilant for diverse drug reactions, including delayed hypotension.
    • Copious fluid therapy is essential for managing contrast media and penicillin-induced hypotension.
    • Awareness and prompt management of adverse drug events are critical in urological practice.
