Abstract:
Cardiopulmonary complications of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography are rare, but they can cause serious morbidity and even possibly lead to death. Complications include cardiovascular events such as cardiac arrhythmias, hypotension and myocardiac infarction and respiratory-related complications like respiratory depression, hypoxia and aspiration. In many cases, these complications are a direct or indirect consequence of elderly or at-risk patients, and these problems may also arise from medications used for sedation and analgesia. Careful evaluation for high-risk patients before procedure and close cardiopulmonary monitoring during and after procedure should be warranted to reduce complications.
