Brief Summary

Post-ERCP pancreatitis is a well-known and sometimes life-threatening complication of ERCP. Both LR and rectal indomethacin have shown benefit in preventing post-ERCP pancreatitis. Despite this, no study to date has evaluated both of these measures for preventing post-ERCP pancreatitis. It is our hope to evaluate the combination of these two modalities for preventing post-ERCP pancreatitis compared with either modality alone.

Interventions

Indomethacin is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) which is commonly used to reduce inflammation caused by gout, osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. It acts by blocking the cyclo-oxygenase 1 and 2 (COX) receptors. It has also been implicated to prevent post-ERCP pancreatitis

Also known as: IND
B (NS+IND)D (LR+IND)

Lactated ringer's solution (LR), is an intravenous fluid (IVF) used commonly during endoscopic procedures and operative procedures. It's composition is similar to that of humans including sodium, chloride, potassium, calcium and lactate. Studies have implicated the use of this fluid in pancreatitis treatment and prevention of post-ERCP pancreatitis

Also known as: LR
C (LR+Placebo)D (LR+IND)

standard IVF would include 0.9% normal saline (NS) solution used during all endoscopic procedures. 0.9% NS includes equal parts sodium and chloride.

Also known as: NS

Placebo would be a suppository 50 mg x 2

Limitations and Caveats

We did not power this study to detect a difference between our other comparative groups (NS+IND, LR+placebo), these comparisons may have been prone to type II statistical errors. Single center experience is another possible limitation.
