Late-onset acute respiratory distress syndrome induced by a gadolinium-based contrast agent
RESPIRATORY MEDICINE CASE REPORTS(2020)
Abstract
Rapid decline of pulmonary function in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) can make ARDS a dangerous and potentially life-threatening condition. Gadolinium-based contrast agents are considered safe alternatives to iodine-based contrast agents, with comparatively fewer adverse effects and a lower incidence of serious adverse events, such as dyspnea or hypotension. There are five reported cases of gadolinium-induced ARDS. A 59-year-old woman with respiratory failure 30 min after gadolinium administration was diagnosed with ARDS; she was admitted to the intensive care unit. Her condition improved by artificial respiration management and adrenaline and steroids administration. She was discharged on day 13. Considering ARDS occurred 30 min after gadolinium administration and findings suggesting anaphylaxis, such as wheezing and failure in organs other than the lungs, were absent, the involvement of any immediate-onset reaction was excluded; thus, a diagnosis of gadolinium-induced ARDS was made.
