ABSTRACT
Global shortage of iodinated contrast medium (ICM) is the latest health care ripple-effect from the COVID-19 pandemic. Some public hospitals in Australia have less than a week's supply. Strategies are, therefore, urgently needed to conserve ICM for those diagnostic tests and interventions, which are time-critical, and without which patients would suffer death or significant morbidity. A plan is also required to continue providing best possible care to patients in the worst-case scenario of exhausted ICM supplies. This document, by representatives from two major public hospitals, will provide some guidance that is tailored to the Australian context.
