Olympus reviewed the following literature titled "critically ill patients with biliary obstruction and cholangitis: bedside fluoroscopic-free endoscopic drainage versus percutaneous drainage." abstract: severe acute cholangitis is a life-threatening medical emergency.Endoscopic biliary drainage (ebd) or percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (ptbd) is usually used for biliary decompression.However, it can be risky to transport a critical patient to the radiology unit.We aimed to compare clinical outcomes between bedside, radiation-free ebd and fluoroscopic-guided ptbd in patients under critical care.Methods: a retrospective study was conducted on critically ill patients admitted to the intensive care unit with biliary obstruction and cholangitis from (b)(6) 2011 to (b)(6) 2020.Results: a total of 16 patients receiving ebd and 31 patients receiving ptbd due to severe acute cholangitis were analyzed.In the ebd group, biliary drainage was successfully conducted in 15 (93.8%) patients.Only one patient (6.25%) encountered post-procedure pancreatitis.The 30-day mortality rate was no difference between the 2 groups (32.72% vs.31.25%, p 0.96).Based on multivariate analysis, independent prognostic factors for the 30-day mortality were a medical history of malignancy other than pancreatobiliary origin (hr: 5.27, 95% confidence interval ci: 1.01¿27.57) and emergent dialysis (hr: 7.30, 95% ci: 2.20¿24.24).Conclusions: bedside ebd is safe and as effective as percutaneous drainage in critically ill patients.It provides lower risks in patient transportation but does require experienced endoscopists to perform the procedure.In our hospital, the percutaneous trans-hepatic biliary drainage (ptbd) was typically used for biliary decompression.Some patients received bedside ebd in the icu without fluoroscopy due to various contraindications for ptbd insertion.Adverse events: n=1: mild pancreatitis.N=5: death after procedure with olympus device.Based on multivariate analysis, independent prognostic factors for the 30-day mortality were a medical history of malignancy other than pancreatobiliary origin (hr: 5.27, 95% confidence interval ci: 1.01¿27.57) and emergent dialysis (hr: 7.30, 95% ci: 2.20¿24.24).Conclusions: bedside ebd is safe and as effective as percutaneous drainage in critically ill patients.This article includes 2 reports as follows: (b)(6): since the literature described "tjf-260," we selected "tjf-260v" as a representative product; adverse event.(b)(6): since the literature described "tjf-260," we selected "tjf-260v" as a representative product; deaths.This is report 1 of 2 for (b)(6): since the literature described "tjf-260," we selected "tjf-260v" as a representative product; adverse event.
