Dimer X in hysterosalpingography.

G C Markham, J P Bottomley, G Ansell

    The British Journal of Radiology
    |February 1, 1977
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Dimer X caused significantly less moderate or severe pain during hysterosalpingography injections compared to Diaginol Viscous. Both contrast media provided satisfactory radiographic quality, with similar after-effects unrelated to the medium type.

    Area of Science:

    • Radiology
    • Gynecology
    • Medical Imaging

    Background:

    • Hysterosalpingography (HSG) is a crucial diagnostic procedure in gynecology.
    • Patient comfort during HSG, particularly pain associated with contrast media injection, is an important consideration.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the incidence of abdominal pain during hysterosalpingography between Diaginol Viscous and Dimer X contrast media.
    • To assess patient-reported outcomes and adverse effects associated with each contrast agent.

    Main Methods:

    • A double-blind analysis of postal questionnaires from 42 patients receiving Diaginol Viscous and 23 patients receiving Dimer X.
    • Patients reported pain severity during contrast injection and any subsequent adverse effects.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • 58.5% of patients receiving Diaginol Viscous reported moderate to severe pain during injection, versus 19% for Dimer X.
    • Three patients receiving Diaginol Viscous experienced brief loss of consciousness.
    • Radiographic quality was satisfactory for both contrast media; after-effects were common but not correlated with the medium used.

    Conclusions:

    • Dimer X is associated with significantly lower incidence of moderate to severe pain during hysterosalpingography injection compared to Diaginol Viscous.
    • The choice of contrast medium did not influence the type or incidence of post-procedural adverse effects.
