Resumen
SILIS-CRAVIOTO, Juan C. et al. Challenges in approaching the bile duct in times of COVID-19 for the gastrointestinal endoscopy department at the General Hospital of Mexico. Endoscopia [online]. 2020, vol.32, n.4, pp.120-124. Epub 11-Oct-2021. ISSN 2444-6483. https://doi.org/10.24875/end.20000059.
Introduction:
The endoscopy services of the different hospitals in our country have been affected due to the contingency, being detained due to the overload of care of patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), leaving aside endoscopic management.
Objective:
To evaluate the feasibility of implementing biological safety protocols and their efficacy to prevent infections associated with coronavirus 2, which causes severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS-CoV-2).
Material and methods:
ERCP procedures were observed during the COVID-19 contingency, between March 23 to June 15, 2020.
Results:
36 ERCP procedures were performed, the most frequent diagnosis being bile duct dilation (58.3%). The main procedure performed was sphincterotomy (61.1%), adopting 100% of the safety measures.
Conclusions:
The performance of ERCP is feasible and safe during the COVID-19 era, without affecting endoscopic success rates, achieving satisfactory results with zero risk of contagion for health personnel.
