Risk of Pulmonary Micro-aspiration in Intubated vs Sedated Patients Undergoing ERCP
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is considered the gold standard in diagnosing and treating biliary and pancreatic diseases. Patients planned for ERCP often have additional comorbidities that make them high-risk candidates for general anesthesia so; the optimized choice of the anesthetic technique represents a real challenge. apparent aspiration is noticeable however microaspiration is hard to detect clinically. our study aims at determining whether general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation or deep sedation is safer in ERCP patients.
