The sudden contrast dye shortage, precipitated by a temporary forced closure of healthcare plant, has limited the supply of iodinated contrast media to Australia. Furthering the impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, this new crisis has increased burden on the radiology system. Lessons from the strategies applied during the shortage should be used as building blocks as safeguards for the future. A pragmatic approach to education and training is required in an ever-changing environment. Our relationships between medical specialties and manufacturers are paramount to maintaining an effective workflow. An ongoing commitment to a strong workforce will be the backbone to overcome another challenge in these uncertain times.
突如其来的造影剂短缺,是由于医疗保健工厂的临时强制关闭而导致的,这限制了碘造影剂在澳大利亚的供应。 2019 年冠状病毒病大流行进一步加剧了这一危机,给放射科系统带来了更大的负担。 在短缺期间应用的策略的经验教训应该作为未来的保障措施。 在不断变化的环境中,需要采取务实的教育和培训方法。 我们与医学专业和制造商之间的关系对于保持有效的工作流程至关重要。 对强大劳动力的持续承诺将是克服这些不确定时期的另一个挑战的支柱。
