It is currently used for the treatment of hypersensitivity reactions, sedation, and even as a local anesthetic. However, several recent publications have highlighted its limitations as a first-line agent for anaphylaxis and even call for its removal. Current practice recommendations advise against using diphenhydramine as a first-line agent for anaphylaxis and acute allergic reactions. It should be reserved as an adjunct after stabilization, and even then, second-generation antihistamines like cetirizine are preferred. Due to mechanisms of action similar to amide local anesthetics, it can be safely used as an alternative in patients with known sensitivity reactions to lidocaine. Overall, diphenhydramine's hospital utility is now targeted and situation-specific. This requires careful clinical judgment and observance of safety-focused guidelines. The following report provides a review of diphenhydramine's pharmacotherapeutic uses in the hospital setting.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":39798,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Radiology Nursing","volume":"45 ","pages":"Article 101356"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146038749","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Approximately 500,000 patients are currently living with severe aortic stenosis, a reason for which one would undergo a TAVR procedure. As the prevalence of aortic stenosis continues to rise with an increasing older adult population, so does the demand for TAVR procedures. Nurses must understand the procedure, monitor patients appropriately, anticipate potential complications, and deliver optimal nursing care for patients undergoing TAVRs.

It poses a threat to both physical and psychosocial well-being, resulting in serious consequences for the child, the family, and society. Radiographers are in a unique position to identify children at risk.
