Article Synopsis
- Nasal high flow (NHF) with room air during ERCP was tested to see if it could reduce hypoxia and hypercapnia compared to low-flow oxygen (LFO).
- In a clinical trial with 75 patients, the NHF group had a significantly lower incidence of marked hypercapnia (2.7%) compared to the LFO group (18.4%).
- However, overall results showed no significant differences in other respiratory measures, such as mean CO levels and hypoxemia occurrences between both groups, indicating that NHF did not provide a clear advantage in improving gas exchange during the procedure.
Objectives: Anastomotic biliary strictures (ABSs) are common complications following living donor liver transplantation (LDLT). We evaluated the feasibility of a novel removable, intraductal, fully covered, self-expandable metallic stent (FCSEMS) for the treatment of ABSs following LDLT.
Methods: Nine patients with duct-to-duct ABSs that developed following LDLT were prospectively enrolled in this study.
Background: For relatively invasive upper gastrointestinal endoscopy procedures, such as an endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), and also lower gastrointestinal endoscopy procedures, intravenous anesthesia is routinely used to reduce patient anxiety. However, with the use of intravenous anesthesia, even at mild to moderate depth of anesthesia, there is always a risk of upper airway obstruction due to a relaxation of the upper airway muscles.With the advent of nasal high flow (NHF) devices that allow humidified high flow air through the nasal cavity, can be used as a respiratory management method in the context of anesthesia.
