About this study

Laparoscopic surgery is commonly used procedure in diagnostic and treatment including Hysterectomy. Post laparoscopic shoulder pain is common side effect mostly occur after surgery. Postoperative Trendelenburg position might decrease pain by reducing the mechanical pressure of CO2 on the diaphragm. Maintaining the patient in Trendelenburg for 6 hours postoperatively will decrease postoperative shoulder pain.

Read the detailed description

After laparoscopic hysterectomy surgery, Patients in intervention group were positioned in a Modified Trendelenburg position (20 °) postoperative for 6 hours because of the limitation of this study cannot positioned in Trendelenburg position.

A modified Trendelenburg position is head and trunk of patient were in neutral position while hips and lower extrimities were raised at 20 degree.

In control group were in neutral position. All patients were asked shoulder pain score at ward, 6 , 12, 24 hours after postoperative Modified Trendelenburg position for 6 hours

  1. Comparison of shoulder pain score

    Comparison of shoulder pain score at 6 hours after postoperative Modified Trendelenburg position for 6 hours Using Numerical rating scale 0-10, 0 mean no pain, 10 mean worst pain

    Measured: at ward, 6 , 12, 24 hours after postoperative Modified Trendelenburg position for 6 hours

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Comparison of nausea vomiting score

    Comparison of nausea vomiting score at ward, 6 , 12, 24 hours after postoperative Modified Trendelenburg position for 6 hours Nausea vomiting score grading : 1. None mean no symptom, 2. Mild mean only nausea, not required antiemetic drugs 3.Moderate mean have symptom of nausea and vomiting and required antiemetic drugs 4.Severe mean have symptom of nausea and vomiting and required antiemetic drugs more than 1 time

    Measured: at ward, 6 , 12, 24 hours after postoperative Modified Trendelenburg position for 6 hours

  2. Total amount of antiemetic drugs in 24 hours postoperatively

    Total amount of antiemetic drugs in 24 hours postoperatively

    Measured: 24 hours postoperatively

  3. Comparison of upper abdominal pain score

    Comparison of upper abdominal pain score at ward, 6 , 12, 24 hours after postoperative Modified Trendelenburg position for 6 hours Using Numerical rating scale 0-10, 0 mean no pain, 10 mean worst pain

    Measured: at ward, 6 , 12, 24 hours after postoperative Modified Trendelenburg position for 6 hours

  4. Comparison of lower abdominal pain score
