Impact of an endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography radiation safety initiative on pregnant and nonpregnant staff dose exposures: a quality improvement initiative
Quality improvement initiatives coupled with adequate personal protective equipment can result in significant improvement in the radiation exposure of advanced endoscopy staff during ERCP. Performing ERCP during pregnancy is a potentially feasible option if proper techniques and policy are implemented to protect the fetus.
