Infectious complications of non-surgical biliary tract manipulation in paediatric patients. Role of antibiotic prophylaxis
2022, Enfermedades Infecciosas y Microbiologia ClinicaCitation Excerpt :Despite the shorter length of antibiotic prophylaxis after June 2017, there were no significant differences in the incidence of infectious complications between the 2 time periods (p = 0.46), including bacteraemia (p = 0.87). Most of the complications from June 2017 onwards were organ/space PSI – cholangitis–, which theoretically, is not preventable despite periprocedural antibiotic prophylaxis, according to the recent literature.11,13,18,20 Finally, 72% of NSMBT-related infections in our series were early complications, and late complications predominantly occurred in procedures with prolonged antibiotic use, either for prophylaxis or therapy.
Adverse events associated with EGD and EGD-related techniques
2022, Gastrointestinal EndoscopyCitation Excerpt :The rate of bacteremia after EGD was 1 in 1500, whereas rates of GI and genitourinary infections were both less than 1 in 2000.22 Endocarditis after EGD was also noted to occur at a rate of 1 in 140,000 patients in this study,22 with rare cases having previously been reported.23 Prior hospitalization, prior endoscopy (compared with noninvasive screening mammography or prostate cancer screening), and lower facility procedural volumes each independently predicted higher rates of infection.22
Effectiveness and Harms of Colorectal Cancer Screening Strategies
2022, Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Clinics of North AmericaCitation Excerpt :Both perforation and bleeding risk are higher for diagnostic colonoscopies following abnormal stool tests or sigmoidoscopies. Transient bacteremia occurs in 4% of colonoscopy and 0.5% of sigmoidoscopy, although clinical infection is rarely reported.39 Computed tomography colonography (CTC) requires patients to undergo a full bowel preparation, after which a rectal balloon catheter is used to insufflate the colon, the CT is performed, and 2- and 3-dimensional reconstructions are used to identify colonic lesions.
Single-dose versus short-course prophylactic antibiotics for peroral endoscopic myotomy: a randomized controlled trial
2021, Gastrointestinal EndoscopyThe Endoscopy Patient as a Vector and Victim
2020, Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Clinics of North AmericaCitation Excerpt :This section focuses on established as well as emerging procedures with a high risk of infectious adverse events. The mean rate of bacteremia following routine ERCP is 6.4%.67 In an obstructed system, this increases to 18%,67 and current ASGE guidelines recommend prophylactic antibiotics only in patients in whom incomplete biliary drainage is expected.13
