Meta-analysis of the effect of automated contrast injection devices versus manual injection and contrast volume on risk of contrast-induced nephropathy.
The researchers conducted a meta-analysis examining the currently published evidence on the reduction of contrast volume and the possible reduction of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) with the use of automated contrast injectors (ACIs) versus manual injection. They found that the incidence of contrast-induced nephropathy was significantly reduced by 15% for those using ACIs compared with manual injection.
