  6. Endoscopic Rectrograde CholangioPancreatography (ERCP) • ERCP used for patients with known or suspected biliary or pancreatic disease. Enables examination of Biliary tree/pancreatic duct using X-ray • Therapeutic procedure includes sphicterectomy, stent insertion, or stone retrieval (by baskets, balloon or lithotripsy) • ERCP is perhaps the most rewarding endoscopic procedure performed by gastroenterologists. It is also the most dangerous . (Cotton & Williams, 1996) • The overall complication rate of ERCP is 5%....sphincterectomy has 10-40%, similar to coronary artery bypass surgery. (Travis et al, 2005)

  7. Why RX system ….cont • Advance in technology • Importantly! Quality of procedure • Easier device manipulation for the assisting nurse • multiple balloon trawls no need to manipulate wire on balloon withdrawal or advancement • One stop shop • reduced number of patient re-scopes due to higher success rate and thus impact on waiting lists • Time saving, minimal exchange, reduce loose of wire position

  8. Why RX system ….cont • Reduced stress levels in room • user friendly for new Nurses • Improved communication between Endoscopist and Nurse • Changing existing culture –nurses frightened to assist in ERCP due to complex of equipment • Health and safety • Reduced fluoroscopy due to locked wire • No wires flicking in the air • Potential reduction of complication “Trained nurses/assistants required to assist the Endoscopist and manage the complex equipment. The quality of this assistance can make the difference between success and failure, triumph and disaster.” (Cotton & William, 1996)

  9. Who was involved in RX system (Team Collaboration) • Endoscopy staff • Gastroenterologist • Purchasing and procurement • Management/ Finance • Boston Scientific Rep & Trainer course • Good Communication is essential

  10. Challenges in using the RX system • Experienced ERCP nurses- deskilling • Training • Resistance to change • Finance and changing management’s perception

  11. Conclusion • Why RX? Important to give patients quality procedures • Managing and facilitating change-Team leader to take role of change agent • Challenges in change but collaboration is important • Lastly…NO more you lost the wire!!
