Abstract:Objective To investigate the efficacy of waste liquid collection bag in endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP).Methods From January to July 2022, the patients who performed with ERCP were randomly divided into experimental group (147 cases with waste liquid collection bag) and control group (168 cases without waste liquid collection bag). The satisfaction of endoscopic visual field exposure, ground pollution rate in the operation room, contamination rate of operators’ surgical clothes, cleaning time in operation room and incidence of postoperative abdominal distension were evaluated between the two groups.Results The amount of intestinal fluid collected by waste liquid collection bag in the experimental group was (9.00 ± 2.61) mL; The satisfaction score of endoscopic visual field was (8.08 ± 1.94), which was significantly higher than (6.76 ± 2.34) in the control group (t = 5.41, P < 0.01). In the experimental group, the ground pollution rate of operation room was 8.16% (12/147), the pollution rate of operator’s surgical clothes was 3.40% (5/147), and the incidence of postoperative abdominal distension was 14.29% (21/147), which were lower than 36.31% (61/168), 14.88% (25/168), and 38.10% (64/168) of the control group (χ2 = 34.89, χ2 = 11.99, χ2 = 22.56, P < 0.01); The cleaning time of operation room was (25.90 ± 3.74) min of the experimental group, which was shorter than (27.52 ± 5.57) min of the control group (t = 2.99, P < 0.01).Conclusion The use of waste liquid collection bag in ERCP can reduce the overflow of gas and intestinal fluid, collect the overflow intestinal fluid, and reduce pollution, postoperative abdominal distension, the risk of poor hospital infection and occupational exposure of medical staff. It is worthy of clinical promotion.
