Endoscopic management of pancreatic collections. Endoscopic Ultrasound Group from the Spanish Society of Digestive Endoscopy (GSEED-USE) Clinical Guidelines.

Acute pancreatitis is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. It can develop complications such as fluid collections and necrosis. Infection of necrosis occurs in about 20-40% of patients with severe acute pancreatitis, and is associated with organ failure and worse prognosis. In the past years, the treatment of pancreatic collections has shifted from open surgery to minimally invasive techniques, such as endoscopic ultrasound guided drainage. These guidelines from a selection of experts among the Endoscopic Ultrasound Group from the Spanish Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (GSEED-USE) have the purpose to provide advice on the management of pancreatic collections based on a thorough review of the available scientific evidence. It also reflects the experience and clinical practice of the authors, who are advanced endoscopists or clinical pancreatologists with extensive experience in managing patients with acute pancreatitis.

Seguridad de la sedación profunda con propofol controlada por el endoscopista en la colangiopancreatografía retrógrada endoscópica (CPRE). Estudio prospectivo en un hospital terciario / The safety of deep sedation with propofol controlled by the endoscopist in endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP): a prospective study in a tertiary hospital

Introducción: el propofol, administrado por el endoscopista con una enfermera entrenada, ha evolucionado como alternativa a la monitorización anestésica y es cada vez más frecuente en la práctica clínica habitual, incluso en endoscopia avanzada. Objetivo: evaluar la seguridad de la sedación profunda con propofol controlada por el endoscopista en pacientes sometidos a colangiopancreatografía retrógrada endoscópica (CPRE). Material y métodos: estudio prospectivo en los pacientes a los que se les realizó CPRE bajo sedación profunda con propofol. Se incluyeron diferentes variables relacionadas con el paciente y se registraron los datos iniciales y finales de la saturación de oxígeno (SatO2), la tensión arterial (TA), y la frecuencia cardiaca (FC) para determinar la presencia de eventos adversos a la sedación (hipoxemia, hipotensión o bradicardia). Resultados: un total de 661 pacientes fueron sometidos a CPRE bajo sedación con propofol durante un periodo de 24 meses. La tasa de eventos adversos registrada fue del 9,7%. La más frecuente fue la hipoxemia (5,7%), seguida de la radicardia (2,4%) y de la hipotensión (1,6%). En el análisis univariante, la aparición de eventos adversos a la sedación (EAS) se asoció a una clasificación de ASA ≥ III (p = 0,026), a pacientes de edad más avanzada (p = 0,009), mayor IMC (p = 0,002) y a un tiempo de exploración más prolongado (p = 0,034). La dosis de inducción de propofol también se relacionó con mayor probabilidad de eventos adversos (p = 0,045), pero no la dosis total de propofol administrado (p = 0,153). En el análisis de regresión logística multivariante, la edad, el índice de masa corporal (IMC) y la duración de la exploración se registran como predictores independientes de EAS (p < 0,05). Conclusión: la sedación profunda con propofol controlada por personal de endoscopia entrenado es un método seguro en procedimientos endoscópicos complejos como la CPRE

Introduction: propofol administered by an endoscopist with a trained nurse has evolved as an alternative to anesthesia monitoring and is increasingly common in the routine clinical practice, even in advanced endoscopy. Objective: to evaluate the safety of deep sedation with endoscopist-controlled propofol in patients undergoing endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). Material and methods: this was a prospective study in patients undergoing ERCP under deep sedation with propofol. Different patient-related variables were included and the initial and final data on oxygen saturation (SatO2), blood pressure (BP) and heart rate (HR) were recorded in order to determine the presence of adverse events due to sedation (hypoxemia, hypotension, or bradycardia). Results: a total of 661 patients underwent ERCP under sedation with propofol over a 24-month period. The rate of recorded adverse events was 9.7%. The most frequent adverse event was hypoxemia (5.7%), followed by bradycardia (2.4%) and hypotension (1.6%). According to the univariate analysis, the occurrence of adverse events due to sedation (AES) was associated with an ASA score ≥ III (p = 0.026), older patients (p = 0.009), higher body mass index (BMI) (p = 0.002) and a longer exploration time (p = 0.034). The induction dose of propofol was also associated with a greater likelihood of adverse events (p = 0.045) but not the total dose of propofol administered (p = 0.153). According to the multivariate logistic regression analysis, age, body mass index (BMI) and the duration of the exploration were independent predictors of SAE (p < 0.05). Conclusion: deep sedation with propofol controlled by trained endoscopy staff is a safe method in complex endoscopic procedures such as ERCP
