Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a technique for evaluating the bile duct, pancreatic duct, and ampulla. Hypoxia is the most common cardiopulmonary complication during ERCP, with a reported rate of 16.2 to 39.2%. The key to preventing hypoxia is to ensure the sufficient oxygenation and ventilation of patients during these procedures. The commonly used approaches to treat hypoxia with a non-instrumented airway are increasing the oxygen flow and lifting the jaw, applying with both hands, displacing the jaw upwards and anteriorly, which allowed the upper airway to remain open. We hypothesized that the supraglottic oxygen delivery via an endotracheal tube can reduce the incidence of hypoxia in patients under deep sedation during ERCP.

The ideal management of cholecysto-choledocholithiasis is an open cholecystectomy (OC) with the common bile duct (CBD) exploration worldwide. The single setting 2-stage approach- endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST), and CBD clearance followed by laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) offers an advantage, mainly by reducing the hospital stay, the cost, and the morbidity. Investigators did a prospective study in patients admitted for the management of the cholecysto-choledocholithiasis in the Department of Surgery at the Lumbini Medical College and Teaching Hospital from November 2012- October 2015. They underwent 2-stage ERCP+LC in a single setting and investigators compared them with 2-stage OC+CBD exploration in a single setting approach. The patients with the open procedure were the investigator's control groups. All the included cases in the study were elective.
