WHEN AN ERCP HAS BEEN ORDERED

Scenario: Pam has been admitted to the hospital
with complaints of abdominal pain over a period
of time. The doctor has decided to do an ERCP
( Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography)
for this questionable abdominal pain.

This will be reflected in the care plan.

What is an ERCP?

An ERCP ( Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography)
is a procedure that is performed using a flexible tube, with a
light at the end. The tube is called an endoscope.

It is passed from the mouth to the duodenum. Contrast dye is
injected through the endoscope. This allows the doctor to
visualize the pancreatic ducts and the surrounding organs. 

The doctor will make a diagnosis based on findings.
