  • Title: The effect of hydration on the acute and chronic complications of aqueous myelography. An experimental study.
    Author: Eldevik OP, Haughton VM.
    Journal: Radiology; 1978 Dec; 129(3):713-4. PubMed ID: 103131.
    Abstract:
    The effect of hydration on the incidence of complications from myelography with aqueous media was studied. Myelography was performed with methylglucamine iocarmate in dehydrated and vigorously hydrated monkeys. The incidence of seizures and the severity of arachnoiditis were significantly greater in the dehydrated animals. The authors suggest that patients be permitted fluids ad lib. prior to myelography with aqueous media, or in some cases be given fluids intravenously.
