Respiratory Support With Nasal High Flow Reduces Opioid Requirements During Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography

ABSTRACT Objectives Nasal high flow (NHF) improves oxygenation, reduces the work of breathing, and stabilizes ventilation. In endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) under dexmedetomidine‐based sedation, opioids are often required but increase the risk of respirator...

Safety of Endoscopic Ultrasound-Guided Biliary Drainage in Patients with Distal Malignant Biliary Obstruction with Large-Volume Ascites

Background/Aims: The safety and efficacy of endoscopic ultrasound-guided biliary drainage (EUS-BD) in patients with large-volume ascites (LVA) remain unclear. We aimed to evaluate the safety of EUS-BD in patients with distal malignant biliary obstruction complicated by LVA. Metho...
