Clinical Trial Summary

ERCP is associated with radiation exposure to the endoscopist and staff, which may be significant at high volume programs despite the use of lead aprons. We hypothesize that draping of the fluoroscopy image intensifier may significantly reduce staff radiation exposure and help achieve implementation of the ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) principle.


Clinical Trial Description

A total of 100 consecutive ERCP procedures were randomly assigned to the radiation-attenuating or sham drape in a 1:1 ratio. There were 2 subjects, the endoscopists performing ERCP and the nurse assisting in the procedure. ;


Study Design

Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Crossover Assignment, Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Investigator), Primary Purpose: Prevention
