Brief summary

This prospective surveillance trial will gather safety information for Optison when it is used in routine practice.

Interventions

DRUGPerflutren Protein-Type A Microspheres Injectable Suspension, United States Pharmacopeia (USP)

The recommended dose of Optison is 0.5mL injected into a peripheral vein. This may be repeated for further contrast enhancement as needed. The injection rate should not exceed 1mL per second. Follow the Optison injection with a flush of 0.9% sodium chloride injection, USP or 5% dextrose in water injection, United States Pharmacopeia (USP) . The maximum total dose should not exceed 5.0mL in any 10 minutes period. The maximum total dose should not exceed 8.7mL in any one patient study.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
The Frequency of Serious Adverse Reactions (SAR)'s Among Subjects Who Receive Optison (Causally Related to the Product)During Contrast Enhanced Echocardiography in Routine Clinical Practice.Within 24 hours post contrast administrationA Serious Adverse Reaction or (SAR) is considered causally related to the Optison product administered by the investigator. This reaction, should it occur, will be counted as a serious adverse reaction.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
The Frequency of Overall Serious Adverse Events (SAE's) Among Subjects Who Receive Optison (Whether Related to the Product or Not) During Contrast Enhanced Echocardiography in Routine Clinical Practice.Within 24 hours post contrast administrationThe frequency of any serious adverse event (SAE) whether it is related to the Optison product or not, after the administration of the Optison product during contrast enhanced echocardiography.
