Infection Control in ERCP Using a Duodenoscope With a Disposable Cap

Bile Duct Diseases

Background & Rationale Over 650,000 endoscopic retrograde cholangio-pancreatography (ERCP) procedures are performed annually in the United States alone. ERCP is universally performed using a highly specialized type of flexible endoscope called a duodenoscope. Though critical for the successful completion of ERCP, the design of duodenoscopes makes them among the most complicated medical devices that require routine disinfection and reprocessing. In recent years, several ERCP-related infectious outbreaks have occurred. Thus, it is clear that novel strategies need to be developed in order to prevent future ERCP-related outbreaks. Specialized duodenoscopes with disposable caps have been developed, and these represent a promising new modality with the potential to drastically reduce the rates of duodenoscope-related infection. Research Questions & Objectives There are two co-primary outcomes in this study; the first is to determine the clinical efficacy of a novel duodenoscope with a disposable elevator cap (DEC) system compared with a duodenoscope with a traditional design. The second co-primary objective is to determine the rate of persistent pathogenic contamination of the novel duodenoscope following standardized disinfection and reprocessing protocols compared with a traditional duodenoscope. Methods This is a prospective, consecutive, randomized controlled study. The intervention arm will comprise use of the ED34-i10T2 duodenoscope with DEC, along with any required standard ERCP accessories, whereas the control arm will comprise use of the ED34-i10T duodenoscope with any required ERCP accessories. All procedures will be performed by expert endoscopists with adequate training, or by advanced endoscopy trainees under direct supervision. Collected data will include primary endpoints listed above, in addition to patient demographics, endoscopist and trainee data, sedation used, procedural details, and peri-procedural data. Data will be collected at index procedure and at 30-day follow-up. All data will be recorded on REDCap.

Patient Reported Experience in Endoscopic Ultrasound

Pancreatic DiseasesBile Duct Diseases

The evaluation of the patient's experience is becoming increasingly important as a better patient experience can improve the quality of the delivered health service. Patient-reported experience measures (PREMs) are self-reported assessment tools provided by patients about their experience during any health event. There are few PREMs's instruments in the field of gastrointestinal endoscopy, and none is specific for Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS). The aim of this study is to develop a questionnaire to evaluate the experience of patients undergoing EUS, identifying and prioritizing the factors related to the patient's experience. In order of it, expected results are developing a valid tool of question to value patients experience during EUS and, for ranking, it is iphotized that will be more correlation with patients's and nurses's answer that clinicians's one. In literature is described that nurse's view and patient's view are more similar especially in those aspects concerning empatics and psychological aspects.

Intra-ductal Confocal Endomicroscopy for Characterization of Pancreas and Bile Duct Tumor

Pancreas NeoplasmsBile Duct Diseases

The endomicroscopy is an adaptation of traditional optical microscopy in the digestive endoscopy. Furthermore, with the integration of a miniaturized laser confocal microscope to a videoendoscope, it's possible to study the digestive mucous by "optical biopsy". This monocentric, non randomized and prospective study uses the Intra-ductal confocal endomicroscopy for the characterization of pancreas and bile duct tumor.
