NCT06683716

Brief Summary

The aim of this prospective randomized study is to evaluate whether telemedical assistance via SmartGlasses is equivalent to physical presence in teaching Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreaticography (ERCP) in terms of examination success and safety. Endoscopic papilla cannulation is a key skill for successful ERCP and therefore a measurable primary endpoint of the study. This can be measured as the time (in seconds/minutes) between stable visualization of the papilla and successful endoscopic cannulation of the target structure (bile duct or pancreatic duct).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Papilla cannulation time

    Time to cannulate the native papilla during ERCP

    During the intervention: from the stable visualisation of the papilla until the successful cannulation of the papilla, assessed up to 60 minutes

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Adverse events during and after ERCP

    Time interval between insertion of the endoscope through the mouth up to 48 hours after ERCP

Study Arms (2)

Training in presence

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

The instructor teaches the trainee in physical presence during the ERCP

Other: Training in presence of the instructor

Telemedical training

EXPERIMENTAL

The instructor teaches the trainee telemedically by using smartglasses during the ERCP

Other: Telemedically training by an instructor

Interventions

The instructor gives the trainee instructions for the examination while he/she is present in the examination room.

Training in presence

The trainer gives instructions to the trainee through a telemedical connection to the examiner using SmartGlasses
