BACKGROUND: Advancement in minimally invasive laparoscopic surgeries make it one of the best choices for both the surgeon and the patient. The anesthesiologist had to improve the techniques used to control post-operative pain. AIM: In this study, we hyposethized that multi-modal analgesic technique which is a combination of two simple techniques (intraperitoneal lidocaine and pulmonary recruitment) allow better result than using only one of them. PATIENTS AND METHOD: This randomised controlled, double-blind study was conducted in Kasr-Alainy hospital, faculty of medicine, Cairo University, Egypt from September 2017 till February 2018. Fifty female patients, scheduled for diagnostic gynecologic laparoscopy were included in the study. Patients were randomly allocated using random computer allocation with numbered closed opaque envelopes into four study group. GM (n = 12): Patients received pulmonary recruitment maneuver and intra-peritoneal Lidocaine, GL (n = 13): Patients received intra-peritoneal Lidocaine, GP (n = 13): Patients received Pulmonary Recruitment Maneuver, GC (n = 12): Patients received passive exsufflation through the port site. In the ward, patients were asked to fulfil a questionnaire about pain severity using (VAS) at 1, 3, 6-hour post-operative both the patients and the anesthesiologist that assess the (VAS) were blind of the patient group RESULTS: Regarding pain score between groups VAS 1 (the primary outcome) was lowest in GM {4.5 (3-5)} in comparison with other groups (P value = 0.015). While VAS 3 & VAS 6 wasn’t statistically significant between groups. Regarding Time of first rescue analgesia; GM {3 (1.75-4)} showed the longest time in between groups (P-value = 0.042). As regard nausea and vomiting; there was no statistically significant difference in in-between groups. CONCLUSION: Application of Multi-modal analgesic technique allows better analgesia for a longer duration than the use of the sole technique for control of abdominal pain in patients undergoing diagnostic gynaecological laparoscopy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
