Introduction to ERCP
Overview
Pancreaticobiliary disorders - diseases of the pancreas, liver, gall bladder and bile duct - are highly complex in nature, running the gamut from simple stone related disorders to strictures and cancers. The purpose of this CNE activity is to present information on the basic elements involved in performing diagnostic and therapeutic procedures for disorders related to the pancreaticobiliary system. Participants will be able to participate in the assistive role of an ERCP by using knowledge of the clinical aspects of the procedures as well as of the various devices that contribute to a successful patient outcome.
This learner paced education activity is intended primarily for RNs with a responsibility for or an interest in endoscopic procedures. The presentation will also be of interest to allied healthcare personnel and MDs involved in Endoscopy.
Upon completion of this presentation, participants will be able to:
1. Identify at least 8 anatomic structures that make up the pancreaticobiliary system
2. Explain the basic steps involved in an endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) procedure
3. Describe the role of access and cannulation devices in performing a successful ERCP
Participants will complete the recorded webinar learning activity. They will view the presentation, then register to complete the evaluation and take the post-test on the website. They will submit the documentation as directed. A bibliographic reference is included for those wishing additional information.
Upon successful completion of the entire online program and submission of required documentation, participants will be granted 1 contact hour. No partial credit will be granted.
