Acute Pancreatitis (AP), Endoscopic Ultrasound-Guided Drainage, Walled Off Pancreatic Necrosis
Conditions
Keywords
Cystogastrostomy, Walled off pancreatic necrosis, nutrition
Brief summary
The goal of this randomized control trial is to assess whether nasojejunal feed is better than oral nutrition in patients who are undergoing endoscopic cystogastrostomy of walled off necrosis following acute pancreatitis. It will also try to answer, the incidence of infections and feed tolerance. The main question it tries to answer is 1. whether nasojejunl feed is better than oral feed in patients undergoing endoscopic cystogastrostomy in walled off necrosis following acute pancreatitis 2. How much infections they develop, whether they are able to tolerate the feed, weight gain and reintervention rates in each group
Interventions
Nasojejunal tube will be placed post EUS-CG or oral diet would be started after randomization

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|

Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Infection and new onset organ failure | 14 days | To compare infection rates, need for antibiotic escalation and new onset organ failure |
