Clinical Process and Nursing Management in Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography Procedures
Öz
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is an endoscopic technique used in the diagnosis/treatment of bile duct and pancreatic diseases using side-view endoscopy and fluoroscopy. With a morbidity rate of 5-10% and a mortality rate of 0.1-1%, ERCP is considered one of the most technically challenging procedures. Post-ERCP pancreatitis is considered the most common complication associated with the procedure, with an incidence ranging from 3.5% to 9.7%. Other complications, which are less frequent than post-ERCP pancreatitis, include cholangitis, bleeding, perforation, hypoxemia, and cholecystitis. Careful preparation before the procedure, monitoring during the procedure, and nursing care after the procedure are of great importance in the early detection of these adverse events and in minimizing the risk of complications. The ERCP procedure is based on a multidisciplinary approach that requires the collaboration of the physician, nurse, and anesthesia team. Nurses are responsible for educating the patient and family before ERCP, tracking laboratory and radiological tests, and preparing the unit; for monitoring the patient during the procedure, positioning, and coordinating with the physician; and, after the procedure, for closely monitoring the patient’s vital signs and complications as well as providing discharge education. The aim of this review is to address current approaches to the nurse’s role throughout all processes of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, based on a review of the literature. According to findings obtained from the literature, patient education, teamwork, and patient monitoring are emphasized as critical for the prevention of complications and the success of treatment.
