Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to determine the effect of airway management (a set of medical procedures performed to prevent airway blockage and thus ensure an open path between a patient's lungs and the atmosphere) during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography [(ERCP), a procedure commonly used to treat conditions of the bile ducts and pancreas] and the effect on airway complications (problems), time to biliary cannulation (access into bile duct) and total procedure duration (length of time). Two methods are being compared and studied: 1) general endotracheal anesthesia: an inhalation anesthetic (substance that blocks pain) technique in which anesthetic and respiratory gases pass through a tube placed in the trachea (throat) via the mouth or nose vs 2) deep sedation without endotracheal intubation: local anesthesia together with sedation (drug that produces sleep) and analgesia (drug that treats pain) only.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Active Comparator: general endotracheal anesthesia

an inhalation anesthetic (substance that blocks pain) technique in which anesthetic and respiratory gases pass through a tube placed in the trachea (throat) via the mouth or nose

Other: general endotracheal anesthesia
sedation with the use of endotracheal intubation

Active Comparator: deep sedation without endotracheal intubation

local anesthesia together with sedation (drug that produces sleep) and analgesia (drug that treats pain) only.

Other: deep sedation without endotracheal intubation
deep sedation without endotracheal airway management.
Other Names:
  • monitored anesthesia care (MAC)
  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Incidence of sedation related adverse events or the need for airway maneuvers [approximately one year]

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Procedure duration [intraoperative]

    2. Time to cannulation of intended duct system [during the procedure]

    3. Technical success of ERCP [approximately one year]

    4. Immediate ERCP adverse events [Adverse events within 24 hours of ERCP]

    5. Delayed adverse events [Adverse events occurring within 7 days]
