Low Versus Standard Pressure Pneumoperitoneum on Shoulder Tip Pain

Condition(s) studied

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Low Pressure Penumoperitoneum: Maintained Pneumoperitoneum with low pressure of 10 mm Hg

Standard Pressure Group (No intervention- active comparator): Maintained Pneumoperitoneum at standard pressure of 15 mm Hg

Study summary

This proposed study is a single-center, double blind, parallel group RCT comparing the use of low (10 mm Hg) versus standard pressure (15 mm Hg) pneumoperitoneum at the time of benign gynecologic laparoscopic surgery. Patients will be randomized to the control group (standard pressure) or the intervention group (low pressure) and surgeons will be blinded to the study pressure. Data on post-operative recovery and pain scores will be recorded for each patient.

Eligibility

Primary outcome measure(s)

• Shoulder Tip Pain — Post-op day 1
  The primary endpoint is post-operative shoulder tip pain measured on post-op day 1 following surgery by a self-administered NRS (numeric rating score) for pain, on a scale from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain imaginable).
