Anaesthesia for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography

Abstract: Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography is used for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. It is relatively more complex than routine endoscopies and requires adequate patient sedation. Furthermore the patients often have co-morbidities. This article provides an overview of various anaesthetic drugs and the type of anaesthesiological support.

“…Painless endoscopy will improve the patient's compliance for ERCP and fasten the diagnosis, help treatment of a few biliary pancreatic diseases and help palliation in inoperable cases. [10,11] Bispectral index (BIS) is used to measure the level of sedation. BIS is a reasonable way to monitor the depth of sedation in patients receiving sedation/general anaesthesia.…”

“…[2] Excellent reviews are available on the anesthetic management of patients presenting for ERCP. [8] The choice of the airway is debatable. [6] In a recent retrospective analysis of 653 procedures, incidence of hypoxemia was reduced to insignificant levels with an improvized airway management.…”

“…The patient category scheduled for ERCP procedures are usually the elderly, as the incidence of biliary complications is more frequent in the older age groups, who could be complaining of some co-morbid diseases adding additional risks to the procedure [1,2]. So cautious choice of a sedative agent, as well as monitoring of its hemodynamic effects are required.…”
