The goals of this report were to characterize the frequency of unplanned acute care utilization after PRRT infusion and detail a comprehensive standard operating procedure (SOP) for radioprotection during unplanned post-PRRT acute care. The records of patients treated with PRRT were reviewed. The event of interest was emergency department (ED) utilization and/or inpatient admission within 7 days of PRRT infusion. A multidisciplinary group developed a radioprotection SOP for all phases of unplanned acute care including the clinical infusion space and emergency medical services transport to the ED, within the ED, and on the inpatient floor. A total of 232 patients received 814 infusions of PRRT, with 134 (58%) receiving Lutathera and 98 (42%) receiving Pluvicto. Nineteen patients received unplanned acute care at an ED within 7 days of PRRT infusion (8% of patients, 2% of infusions), of which 10 received Lutathera (8% of patients, 2% of infusions). Two patients (2% of patients, 0.5% of infusions) experienced carcinoid crises within 24 hours of Lutathera infusion. The median and average intervals between infusion and ED visit were 0.5 days and 1.3 days, respectively. Nine patients received Pluvicto (9% of patients, 3% of infusions). The median and average intervals between infusion and ED visit were 4 and 4.7 days, respectively.
