General information
Before use, the drug should be heated to body temperature.
Before administration, you should carefully inspect the bottle. If the integrity of the vial is violated, a significant change in color, the detection of visible particles (including crystals), the drug should not be used. Because the iopromide is a highly concentrated solution, crystallization (the appearance of milk-like turbidity and / or precipitation or crystals in the form of a slurry) can occur extremely rarely.
For the introduction of a radiopaque solution, it is necessary to use an automatic injector or other special instruments with preservation of sterility. Recruit iopromide in a syringe or infusomat follows immediately before administration.
Do not make more than one puncture of the rubber stopper in order to prevent a large number of microparticles from entering the prepared solution from the plug. Therefore, for piercing the rubber plug and a set of radiopaque means, it is recommended to use cannulas with long tips with a diameter of no more than 18 G (best suited are marked cannulae with a lateral opening of the type Nocore-Admix).
Unused after opening the bottle the drug can be used within 10 hours after the first opening. Then it should be destroyed.
Doses for intravascular injection
The intravascular injection of the radiopaque means, if possible, is best carried out while the patient is lying down.
In patients with severe renal and cardiovascular insufficiency, as well as with the overall poor health status, the dose of radiopaque should be as low as possible. In such patients, it is recommended that kidney function be monitored for at least 3 days after the examination.
The dose of radiopaque means should correspond to the age, body weight to be solved by the clinical problem and the research method. Doses given below should be considered only as recommended; they are the usual dose for an average adult person with a body weight of 70 kg. The dose is expressed in ml for a single injection or per kg of body weight.
As a rule, doses up to 1.5 g of iodine per kg of body weight are usually well tolerated.Between individual injections, the body should be given sufficient time to leave the fluid from the interstitial space to normalize the increased serum osmolality. If necessary, in some cases, to exceed the total dose of 300-350 ml in adults, the introduction of water and, possibly, electrolytes is indicated.
Recommended doses for single injections
Ordinary angiography
View research | Dosage of the drug (iodine concentration mg / ml) | Dose, ml |
Angiography of the arch of the aorta | 300 | 50-80 |

Intravenous CSA
For the treatment of large vessels, use of the drug Yopromide TP 300 mg iodine / ml and Yopromide TP 370 mg iodine / ml in a volume of 30-60 ml. The drug is administered bolus at a rate of 8-12 ml / s to the ulnar vein or at a rate of 10-20 ml / s through the catheter into the vena cava. The time of contact between the radiopaque substance and the vein wall can be shortened by the rapid bolus injection immediately after the preparation with a 0.9% solution of sodium chloride.
Adults
30-60 ml solution of the preparation Yopromide TP 300 mg iodine / ml and Yopromide TP 370 mg iodine / ml.
Intraarterial CSA
When performing intraarterial CSA, in contrast to conventional angiography, smaller amounts of Yopromide TP and its lower concentrations can be administered.
CT scan (CT)
If possible, Iopromide TP should be injected into the vein as a bolus using an automatic injector. Only with slow scanning, about half the dose should be administered bolus, and the rest for 2-6 minutes to ensure a relatively constant concentration of the drug in the blood.
Spiral CT and especially multilayer CT allows a large amount of data to be obtained with one breathing delay. To obtain the optimal diagnostic effect of intravenously administered bolus (80-150 ml of injection for 300 mg of iodine / ml of the drug) in the study area (peak, time and duration of contrast), it is recommended to use an automatic injector and to monitor the time from the beginning of the introduction of radiopaque scanning.
Whole body CT
The necessary doses of radiopaque means and the speed of their administration depend on the organ under examination, the diagnostic problem being solved and, in particular, on the differences in scanning and the duration of image reconstruction.
CT of the skull
Adults
Yopromide TP 300 mg iodine / ml: 1.0-2.0 ml / kg;
Yopromide TP 370 mg iodine / ml: 1,0-1.5 ml / kg.
Intravenous urography
In connection with the physiologically weak concentration ability of immature kidney nephrons, children need relatively high doses of radiopaque.
The following doses are recommended Yopromide TR:
Age | Amount of iodine, g / kg body weight | Dose Yopromide TP, ml / kg body weight |
| 300 mg iodine / ml | 370 mg iodine / ml |
Newborns (<1 month) | 1,2 | 4,0 | 3,2 |
Young children (1 month-2 grams) | 1,0 | 3,0 | 2,7 |
Dchildren (2-11 years) | 0,5 | 1,5 | 1,4 |
Adolescents and adults | 0,3 | 1,0 | 0,8 |
If necessary, in some cases, adults may increase these doses.
Snapshot Time
Duration of pictures after administration of the drug Yopromide TP 300 mg iodine / ml Yopromide TP 370 mg iodine / ml with a duration of 1-2 minutes for the kidney parenchyma 3-5 minutes, for visualization of the renal pelvis and ureter system - 8-15 minutes after the beginning of the introduction of radiopaque substance.
The younger the patient, the earlier the picture is taken. Usually, you should take the first picture 2-3 minutes after the introduction of radiopaque. In newborns, infants and patients with impaired renal function, taking pictures at a later date can improve the visualization of the urinary tract.
Doses when administered to the body cavity
When carrying out arthrography, ERCP, the introduction of an X-ray contrast agent should be carried out under the control of fluoroscopy.
Recommended doses for individual studies
The dose can be highly dependent on age, body weight, general condition of the patient, as well as on the clinical problem being solved, the technical equipment used and the field of examination. Below are the average doses recommended to adults in the norm.
Arthrography: 5-15 ml of the drug Yopromide TP 300 mg iodine / ml / Iopromide TP 370 mg iodine / ml.
ERCPR: The dose depends on the clinical problem being solved and the size of the visualized structure.
Other cavities: The dose depends on the clinical problem being solved and the size of the visualized structure.
