For patients receiving a contrast injection as part of a radiology test at a free-standing outpatient facility who experience a contrast allergy or extravasation event, who responds and manages the patient for the medical emergency? Is this the same person/people who also respond to non-contrast related medical emergencies in radiology patients in free-standing outpatient locations?
