description Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of additional low-pressure pulmonary recruitment in reducing postoperative shoulder pain. Methods A double-blind randomized controlled trial was conducted at Srinagarind Hospital between May 2021 and October 2021. Forty patients who underwent laparoscopic gynecologic surgery were randomized into either an intervention group that received additional low-pressure pulmonary recruitment (30 cmH2O) (n=20) or a control group (n=20). Shoulder pain was evaluated using a numerical rating scale from 0 to 10, 24, and 48 hours after the operation. Results The mean±standard deviation of shoulder pain at 24 hours after the operation of both the intervention and control groups were 2.10±2.27 and 1.45±1.73 points, respectively. The shoulder pain at 48 hours after the operation of the intervention and control groups were 1.15±1.46 and 0.85±1.73 points, respectively. There were no statistical differences in the mean difference between the two groups at 24 and 48 hours after operation (P=0.49; 95% confidence interval [CI], −0.61 to 1.91 and P=1.00; 95% CI, −0.96 to 1.56, respectively). No statistically significant differences were observed in additional analgesic medications used in either group, such as intravenous morphine or oral acetaminophen. Conclusion Additional low-pressure pulmonary recruitment to reduce shoulder pain after laparoscopic surgery for benign gynecologic diseases did not show a significant benefit compared to the control group, especially when administering postoperative around-the-clock analgesia.
