After the procedure
We will remove the IV and then you can leave the unit. We will arrange transport if you were admitted to the hospital or if you need an ambulance. You can ask your attending physician for a taxi statement.
It's important to drink enough water in the 24 hours after the procedure to help your kidneys flush out the contrast solution you were administered via IV.
If you were given water to drink, you probably won't experience loose stools.
If you were given a contrast solution to drink, you may experience loose stools for one or two days.
Results
The radiologist who performed the CT scan and/or assessed the images will submit his or her report to your attending physician as soon as possible. Your attending physician will contact you to discuss the results.
