This Emergency Medicine Literature of Note post covers the AMACING\\xa0 trial, which looks at intravenous fluid administration (0.9% NaCl) versus usual care in patients "at risk" for CIN undergoing contrast-enhanced CT scan. \\xa0 The study found a difference of -0.1% (95% CI -2.25 to 2.06), which was below the non-inferiority margin.\\xa0Prior literature shows similar results, with no clear-cut efficacy from prevention strategies for CIN.
