Blood samples were collected prior to contrast media (CM) administration and thereafter at 3, 15, 30, 60, 90 and 180 min to evaluate acid-base, venous blood gas status (pH, PCO2, PO2, HCO3-, BE, O-2) and electrolytes (Na+, Ca++, K+). Values of pH, PCO2, BE, HCO3-, Na+ and K+ remained unchanged or within non-significant fluctuations compared with the baseline values. PO2 was significantly different from the baseline values in group 1 up to 90 min after administration, significant alterations were found for O-2 saturation in group 1 up to 90 min, and in group II at 3, 60 and 180 min; and for Ca++ in group 1 at all time points except at 90 min, and groups II and II at 3 and 15 min post administration. It was concluded that none of the CM are considered to cause long-lasting and major effects on acid-base, blood gas and electrolyte status.en10.1111/j.1439-0442.2004.00631.xinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessArticle51523724115315703N/AWOS:000223375800005Q3
