Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Medical Procedures
  • Patient Safety

Background:

  • Diagnostic endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a widely used endoscopic procedure.
  • While ERCP is considered safe, potential complications exist.
  • Complications can arise from ampullary manipulation, cannulation, medications, or cardiorespiratory events.

Observation:

  • This report presents a case of severe barotrauma.
  • The complication occurred during diagnostic endoscopic cholangiography.
  • Barotrauma represents a significant, though infrequent, risk associated with ERCP.

Findings:

  • Severe barotrauma is a potential complication of diagnostic ERCP.
  • This complication is directly linked to the endoscopic procedure itself.

  • Careful technique during ERCP may mitigate risks.

    • Implications:

    • Highlights the importance of recognizing and managing rare ERCP complications.
    • Emphasizes the need for vigilance regarding procedural risks, even in "safe" interventions.
    • Informs proceduralists about potential severe outcomes like barotrauma during ERCP.
