摘要
The temperature of the gas used for insufflation during laparoscopy has a significant influence on postoperative shoulder and subphrenic pain according to a prospective randomized study of 103 female patients who filled out a standardized pain assessment questionnaire with a visual analogue scale from 0 to 10. Women in group B (n = 53), who had been insufflated with warm CO2 gas during laparoscopy, had significantly less pain than women in the control group (group A; n = 50). The declared value for shoulder pain at the first postoperative day was 3.6 with cold gas versus 2.5 with warm CO2 (p = 0.013). The strongest pain was found following long operations (5.4 vs. 4, respectively) and following high CO2 gas use (5.5 vs. 2.3); in both cases, a significant advantage was noted for the group treated with warmed CO2. Further research is needed regarding the etiology and possible prevention of postoperative pain following laparoscopy. As the use of warm CO2 gas leads to significant reduction of pain, technical and mechanical parameters should be changed accordingly.
