ABSTRACT
Objective: To determine the frequency of Post Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography Pancreatitis [PEP] in patients who underwent prophylactic pancreatic duct stenting
Study Design: Descriptive case series
Place and Duration of Study: This descriptive case series was conducted at the department of Gastroenterology, Pak Emirates Military Hospital Rawalpindi, from Jul 2017 to Feb 2018
Material and Methods: One hundred and twenty consecutive patients were enrolled after they met inclusion and exclusion criteria. Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography Pancreatitis [ERCP] was performed by Olympus duodeno scope [TJF Q180V] by an endoscopist having at least 3 years experience of performingindependent ERCPs. An additional 4, 6, or 7cm long 5FrGeenen[registration sign] pancreatic plastic stent [Cook Medical] was placed in all cases where pancreatic duct was accidentally cannulated. Primary outcome variable was post ERCP pancreatitis. Data was recorded on a pre-designed proforma and analyzed by SPSS version 21.0
Results: Out of total 120 cases, PEP was found in 4 [3.3 percent] patients. All the 4 patients had mild pancreatitis
Conclusion: PEP is not an uncommon complication following ERCP. The rate of PEP appears to be lower with prophylactic pancreatic duct stenting
ABSTRACT
Electrical shock is typically an untoward exposure of human body to any source of electricity that causes a sufficient current to pass through the skin, muscles or hair causing undesirable effects ranging from simple burns to death. Ventricular fibrillation is believed to be the most common cause of death following electrical shock. The case under discussion is of a young man who survived following electrical shock after prolonged cardiopulmonary resuscitation [CPR], multiple defibrillations and artificial ventilation due to poor respiratory effort. Early start of chest compressions played a vital role in successful CPR
