How Should Patients Prepare for a Fluoroscopic Procedure?
Preparation for a fluoroscopic procedure may vary depending on the specific test or treatment. Generally, patients may be advised to avoid eating or drinking for a few hours before the procedure. It’s also important to inform the healthcare provider of any allergies, particularly to contrast dyes, iodine, or shellfish, as these can be used during the procedure. Patients should also disclose any current medications and medical conditions.
