Summary

This study tests whether giving a short course of intravenous Ringer's lactate fluid around the time of an ERCP procedure can prevent pancreatitis, a common and serious side effect. Researchers will enroll 505 adults aged 18-75 who are having their first ERCP. Participants will receive the IV fluid and be monitored for signs of pancreatitis the next day.
