Ketofol Versus Propofol in Urgent ERCP for Acute Cholangitis

Abstract

Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a lengthy and uncomfortable procedure that requires adequate sedation. Propofol is the commonly used sedative during ERCP. However, dose dependent cardiac and respiratory depression may occur. Hypotension usually occurs in severe cholangitis which necessitate the use of alternative sedative. The aim is to study the efficacy and safety of ketofol as a sedative during urgent ERCP for severe cholangitis.
