About this study

Official title: The Effect of Low Pressure Pneumoperitoneum and Pulmonary Recruitment Manoeuvre on Postoperative Pain After Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

The investigators want to test the hypothesis that the addition of a recruitment manoeuvre to a low pressure pneumoperitoneum will lead to an additional reduction in postoperative pain. Therefore the investigators will conduct a prospective randomized controlled, single blind trial.

Read the detailed description

Two groups:

  1. A cholecystectomy at a low pressure pneumoperitoneum (8-10 mmHg)
  2. A cholecystectomy at a lowpressure pneumoperitoneum (8-10mmhg) and at the end a pulmonary recruitment manoeuvre (5 sec at max 40 cmH2O).
Being tested
Pulmonary recruitment, No pulmonary recruitment
Medical subject headings
Pneumoperitoneum, Pain, Postoperative

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Pulmonary recruitmentProcedure or surgery

    At the end of surgery a manual pulmonary recruitment (5 sec, max 40 cmH2O) is given to the patiënt

  • No pulmonary recruitmentProcedure or surgery

    At the end of surgery no intervention was completed
