Bacteremia Sepsis, Intraoperative Hypotension, Sepsis
Conditions
Brief summary
For the treatment of numerous biliary and pancreatic problems, the procedure known as endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is regarded as a crucial therapeutic intervention. However, ERCP is known to be connected to a variety of issues, including post-ERCP sepsis. This study's goal is to investigate the relationship between unexplained hypotension during or just after surgery and the emergence of sepsis after ERCP.
Detailed description
At the Gastrointestinal Surgery Centre, Mansura University, Egypt, a cohort study will be conducted on a sample of 50 adult (18+) patients who undergoing ERCP. Hypotension that occurred during surgery or shortly after will be classified as exposure when it cannot be linked to a particular cause. In this study, post-ERCP sepsis will be the major outcome measure, while other ERCP-related sequelae will be the supplementary outcome measures. Discussion: The findings of this study will significantly advance our understanding of the potential link between intraoperative hypotension and the development of post-ERCP sepsis. This study's goal is to increase knowledge of the challenges presented by ERCP, which will aid in the creation of patient treatment methods that are more effective.
Interventions
This is not an intended intervention in the study. This cohort study will study the exposure to intraoperative hypotension and the occurrence of sepsis after the ERCP procedures.
