HealthTrust presents…Virtual HTU: “Can you see me? Contrast Agents, Dyes & Radiopharmaceuticals: A Crash Course for Busy Clinicians”

*Note: Members who attended the live HTU event and applied for CE credit are not eligible to receive credit for the same program in a virtual format. In addition, CE credit is not available when accessing the program on demand.

Iodinated and gadolinium based agents, dyes (e.g., indocyanine green, methylene blue) and radiopharmaceuticals are all commonly used agents in the inpatient setting. Pharmacists and nurses receive little to no didactic training on any of these agents, despite their classifications as drugs. In addition, some of these agents are exclusively procured by a Pharmacy department that is also accountable for the supply expense. Join us for this session that will draw on the experience of subject matter experts to provide practical information and strategies on the current use of these agents and a glimpse into the future state of some of these categories (theranostics).

Learning Objectives | At the end of this session, participants should be able to:

1. Recall the differentiating factors between forms of radiographic- and gadolinium-based contrast agents and the use of dyes in the surgical space.
2. Identify the radiographic agents, dyes and radiopharmaceuticals that Pharmacy may be tasked with procuring and managing, as well as accounting for the resulting supply expense.
3. Recognize current and potential future use of emerging theranostics in practice.
