Prospective Study of the Risk of Bacteremia in Directed Cholangioscopic Examination of the CBD
This is a prospective study to measure the frequency of bacteremia in patients undergoing
ERCP with direct cholangioscopic examination of the Common Bile Duct "CBD". A blood culture
will be drawn from patients prior to the procedure, 5 minutes after the procedure and 30
minutes after the procedure. The patient will be followed up for 7 days after procedure for
fever and sepsis. The estimated sample size is 60 patients.
Inclusion Criteria:
- 1- Adult patients (18-80) who are undergoing ERCP with direct cholangioscopic
examination of the common bile duct to ensure the clearance of the common bile duct
from stones.
2- Adult patients (18-80) who are undergoing ERCP with direct cholangioscopic
examination of the common bile duct for stone removal.
3- Adult patients (18-80) who are undergoing ERCP with direct cholangioscopic
examination of the common bile duct for tissue acquisition from the common bile duct
mass.
4- Adult patients (18-80) who are undergoing ERCP with direct cholangioscopic
examination of the common bile duct for tissue acquisition from common bile duct
strictures.
Exclusion Criteria:
- 1- Patients younger than 18 yrs old or older than 80 yrs. 2- Pregnant patients. 3-
Patient with ascending cholangitis, pneumonia or urinary tract infection 4- Patients
who received antibiotics in the last 2 weeks prior to the procedure.
