Comparison of intratracheal intubation or not during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography: a meta-analysis and systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

In endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography anesthesia, both intubation and non-intubation techniques have their own advantages and disadvantages. However, whether either approach is associated with postoperative and anesthesia-related adverse events remains controversial.

Methods

We searched the literature in PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Scopus, Ovid and Embase databases up to October 2024. All studies comparing intubated vs. non-intubation anesthesia for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography were included. The main outcome measures were sedation-related adverse events and death. Data were combined using risk ratio with 95% confidence intervals. The study protocol was prospectively registered with PROSPERO (CRD42024608807).
