Abstract
Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) provides an important medical procedure for patients in a generally safe and effective manner. It can be technically complex, often performed during serious illness, and has the highest potential complication rate of procedures commonly performed by gastroenterologists. The issue of duodenoscope-related infections has been more recently added the list of potential ERCP adverse events. This chapter will take a risk management approach to help the endoscopists understand and manage the risks associated with ERCP, with particular concentration on duodenoscope-related infections. This chapter is written for educational purposes only and cannot be considered legal advice. For specific legal advice, one should consult a health care attorney.
期刊介绍：
The purpose of each issue of Techniques in Gastrointestinal Endoscopy is to provide a comprehensive, current overview of a clinical condition or surgical procedure in gastrointestinal endoscopy, combining the effectiveness of an atlas with the timeliness of a journal. Each issue places a vigorous emphasis on diagnosis, rationale for and against a procedure, actual technique, management, and prevention of complications. The journal features abundant illustrations, line drawings and color artwork to guide readers through even the most complicated procedure.
