Experimental

Arm Label

group B: Insufflation with warm gas

group A: Insufflation with cold gas

Arm Description

Insufflation with warmed, humidified carbon dioxide insufflation during laparoscopic cholecystectomy using the optitherm® device attached to the insufflation equipment in all of the patients but was only activated by the single scrub nurse in those patients randomized to group B.

group A: Insufflation with cold gas during laparoscopic cholecystectomy, the use of Optitherm® device, which was attached to the insufflation equipment in all of the patients but was inactivated in group A

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Pain (Rated With a Visual Analog Scale for Pain)
postoperative pain (rated with a visual analog scale for pain) and analgesic requirements at operation day. The visual analog scale for pain ranged from 0-10 (0 is no pain, 10 is Maximum of pain)
Pain (Rated With a Visual Analog Scale for Pain)
postoperative pain (rated with a visual analog scale for pain) and analgesic requirements at operation day. The visual analog scale for pain ranged from 0-10 (0 is no pain, 10 is Maximum of pain)

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of warmed, humidified carbon dioxide Insufflation vs standard carbon dioxide in laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
Detailed Description
Patients undergoing warmed, humidified carbon dioxide (CO2) insufflation for laparoscopic cholecystectomy will have less postoperative pain than patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy with standard CO2 insufflation. The study design is a double-blind, prospective, randomized study comparing patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy with standard CO2 insufflation vs those receiving warmed, humidified CO2. Main variables included postoperative pain (rated with a visual analog scales) and analgesic requirements.
