Summary
Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a lengthy and uncomfortable
procedure that requires adequate sedation. Propofol is the commonly used sedative during
ERCP. However, dose dependent cardiac and respiratory depression may occur. Hypotension
usually occurs in severe cholangitis which necessitate the use of alternative sedative. The
aim is to study the efficacy and safety of ketofol as a sedative during urgent ERCP for
severe cholangitis.
