Brief Summary

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.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • POPA

    Perioperative Pulmonary Aspiration (POPA), which will be defined as the presence of an acute pulmonary infiltrate on chest CT within the 24 hours period following ERCP.

    24 hours postoperatively

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Number of intraoperative hypoxic episodes.

    24 hours postoperative.

Study Arms (2)

deep sedation

Anesthesia will be induced using titrated doses of propofol (0.5-1.5 mg/kg) and fentanyl (25-50 μg) initially to carefully maintain spontaneous breathing yet maintaining airway patency. Once adequate jaw relaxation is achieved, the endoscopy probe will be inserted. Maintenance of sedation will be carried out using propofol infusion between 80-120 mcg/kg/min. Additional dose 25-50 mg propofol will be given to the patient if spontaneous movement occurs

Radiation: Imaging

Genral anesthesia

After mask pre-oxygenation, anesthesia will be induced with (2 mg/kg) propofol and (1 μg /kg) fentanyl. The neuromuscular blockade will be achieved with (0.5 mg/kg) atracurium followed by tracheal intubation. Anesthesia will be maintained to keep the end-tidal anesthetic concentrations within 1 MAC for sevoflurane. The neuromuscular blockade will be maintained with intermittent doses of atracurium (0.1mg/kg). Mechanical ventilation is adjusted with fresh gas flow oxygen in air 30-40% at a rate of 2 L/min to maintain end-tidal carbon dioxide of 35-40 mm Hg. Reversal of neuromuscular blockade will be achieved by intravenous administration of neostigmine 0.05 mg/kg and atropine 0.02 mg/kg.
