Gadodiamide injection, a new nonionic, MRI contrast medium, was compared with the ionic agent gadolinium (Gd)-DTPA at 0.1 mmol/kg body weight in a double-blind, randomised trial in 60 patients, 30 receiving each substance, with known or suspected lesions of the central nervous system. The patients were closely questioned about adverse events. In the Gadodiamide injection group, four patients reported six adverse advents, three of which were judged to be related to the contrast medium. In the Gd-DTPA group, two patients each reported one adverse event, both of which had an uncertain relation to the contrast medium. All events were mild and no medical treatment was needed. No significant change in neurological findings, blood pressure, pulse rate or blood parameters were noted in any patient. Both contrast media were effective; no difference in overall efficacy or safety was observed.
Experimental and clinical investigations of patients resuscitated after cardiac arrest or terminal states, testify to the fact that in the post-resuscitation period alongside processes of recovery and compensation, a number of new pathological phenomena develop. The latter differ substantially from those caused by ischemia and hypoxia. These post-resuscitation processes involve not only the CNS, but also the entire body and may lead to severe disability and even death of the seemingly successfully revived body. The data available suggests that this post-resuscitation pathology is a new nosological entity--a post-resuscitation disease. This disease has it own specific etiology, pathogenesis, variants of the clinical course (a number of syndromes) and the system of treatment and rehabilitation. In view of the ever wider use of resuscitation in clinical practice, it is expedient to organize an all-round study of this nosological entity, the optimum systems of its treatment, and to include this entity into International Classification of Diseases of WHO.
