Never in my life have I thought, “I wished I hadn’t tubed this ERCP.”

We tube our ercps. 100%. Not a conversation
Recently met a GI who does his ERCP left lateral flat on X-ray bed. Have sedated them as he works quick enough. Will tube if inpatient and look sick nauseous.
Weve never tubed any ercp afaik. All prone in a dingy corner of the hospital remote endo room, no anesthesia machine, no glidescope, tiny room that you can't even easily get a second bed into to flip...
Its wild we get away with it...
you betta knock on something
Had anyone else used the Gastro-LMAs for ERCPs?
We used them in my residency training and they worked really well, supine patient and much safer than GA without an airway; the GI docs loved them as did we, quick 20 min case without need of a tube.

Drunk drivers usually get away with it.
we get away with a lot of things in anesthesia, until we don’t.
Yeah, that's an indefensible position y'all put yourselves in. Write the check if something happens.

We used to have a gastroenterologist who did all of his ERCPs supine, most under 20min. He is Egyptian and speaks 5 languages including Mandarin. Just an outstanding person. Sadly he no longer comes to our hospital.

if they c-spine issues, acute ones at least you should ask to do the case supine

We had an old Gi doctor who came out of retirement who did his ercps prone and it took 3 hours. I told my colleague he takes forever and it’s not worth the risk. He still decided to do sedation. Why? Smh
I love this move all day for morbidly obese EGD and TEE.
