Influences of different flow rates of high pressure injector on hysterosalpingography / 实用放射学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To analyze the contrast agent back flow,balloon ejection and pain which appeared during the examination process,and define the advantages and disadvantages of different rates of high pressure injector to take hysterosalpingography (HSG) examination.Methods 229 patients who took HSG examination in our department were divided into two groups randomly.The rate of conventional group was 0.3 mL/s,and low rate group was 0.15 mL/s.The contrast agent back flow,balloon ejection and pain which appeared on the examined patients of two groups were recorded.T test was adopted to compare the age difference of two groups.χ2 test was used to compare the differences of diagnosis results,contrast agent back flow and balloon ej ection of two groups.Wilcoxon rank sum test was used to compare the pain difference of two groups.Results Two groups had no significant differences on age, diagnosis results and contract agent back flow (t=1.237,χ2=0.004,χ2=1.521,P>0.05).Balloon ejection of two groups had significant difference(χ2=17.319,P<0.05).The appeared pain of two groups had significant difference (U=-2.337,P<0.05).Conclusion Using high pressure injector to inject contrast agent with low flow rate is better for HSG.
