Clinical Scorecard: Evaluating Respiratory Protection and Resource Use During ERCP: A Comparative Analysis of High-Flow Nasal Oxygen, Standard Mask, and General Anesthesia in High-Risk Patient Groups

At a Glance

Key Highlights

• Desaturation incidence was 59.7% in standard mask (SM) group vs. 0% in HFNO and general anesthesia (GA) groups.
• Minimum SpO₂ was significantly lower in SM (90%) compared to HFNO (99%) and GA (99%).
• Airway interventions required in 31.4% of SM patients vs. 5.4% of HFNO patients.
• Oxygen consumption was highest in HFNO (500 L) compared to SM (175 L) and GA (34.5 L).
• HFNO matched GA in respiratory stability, achieving 0% desaturation rate.

Guideline-Based Recommendations

Diagnosis

Management

• Consider HFNO for non-invasive oxygenation during ERCP in high-risk patients.

Monitoring & Follow-up

• Monitor SpO₂ levels closely during ERCP procedures.

Risks

• Be aware of the potential for desaturation with SM oxygenation.

Patient & Prescribing Data

Adult patients undergoing elective ERCP with ASA I, II, or III.

HFNO provides effective oxygenation and reduces the need for airway interventions.

Clinical Best Practices

• Utilize HFNO in high-risk ERCP patients to maintain oxygenation.
• Assess the need for airway interventions based on oxygenation strategy.
