Effect of Low or High Pressure Alveolar Recruitment Maneuver on Postoperative Pain and Quality of Recovery in Patients with Obesity Undergoing Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy

Background: This study aimed to evaluate whether a low- or high-pressure alveolar recruitment maneuver (ARM) might reduce postoperative pain and improve the quality of recovery after laparoscopic bariatric surgery. Methods: 90 patients with a body mass index > 30 kg/m(2) scheduled for laparoscopi...

Sumario:Background: This study aimed to evaluate whether a low- or high-pressure alveolar recruitment maneuver (ARM) might reduce postoperative pain and improve the quality of recovery after laparoscopic bariatric surgery. Methods: 90 patients with a body mass index > 30 kg/m(2) scheduled for laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy were randomly assigned to control (n = 30), low ARM (n = 30), or high ARM groups (n = 30). For the low and high ARM groups, ARM was repeated five times to hold the peak airway pressure at 30 cmH(2)O and 60 cmH(2)O for 5 s, respectively, before removal of the trocar. Conventional methods to reduce post-laparoscopic pain, such as intraperitoneal saline irrigation, hemovac drainage, and gentle abdominal compression were performed in all patients, regardless of the assigned group. Results: Shoulder and surgical site pain scores 24 h postoperatively and rescue meperidine requirement were similar between the groups (p = 0.141, 0.101, and 0.82, respectively). The quality of recovery 40 (QoR40) score 24 h postoperatively was similar between the groups (p = 0.755). Postoperative pulmonary complications were similar between the groups (p = 0.124). Conclusion: Application of a low- or high-pressure ARM in addition to conventional methods to remove remnant peritoneal CO(2) gas did not reduce postoperative shoulder or surgical site pain or improve the quality of recovery after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy.
