Safety and efficacy of tubal flushing with ethiodized oil

“…Five cases of mortality were reported after HSGs with the use of oil-based contrast in subfertile women. Four of these cases were infection-related, and they were published in the period between 1942(Bang, 1950Feiner, 1942;. The fifth case described a woman that passed away minutes after a recurrent HSG with 9 mL of lipoiodine under light cyclopropane anaesthesia, possibly due to an allergic reaction to the oil-based contrast or the used anaesthesia (Faris and McMurrey, 1947).…”
