Abstract

This review aimed to identify evidence available in the literature about nursing interventions to prevent adverse reactions to iodinated contrast media. The research question for this study - “How effective are nursing actions at preventing adverse reactions in patients who will receive iodinated contrast?” - is based on issues that involve patient safety regarding the risk of adverse events. Method: systematic review based on the Joanna Briggs Institute protocol, which provides for the formulation of a guiding question, definition of descriptors, participation of two reviewers, definition of inclusion and exclusion criteria for studies, definition of electronic databases, selection of studies , critical analysis of the articles and synthesis of the data with the recommendation of the degree of evidence. Expected results: survey of scientific evidence to prevent adverse responses to the iodinated contrast medium, as well as provide means for the safety of radiological nursing care.
