Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Change in postoperative pain assessed with a numeric rating scale

    A questionnaire with a numeric rating scale (NRS) is used to assess pain intensity at 4, 12, 24, 36 and 48 hours postoperatively.

    4, 12, 24, 36 and 48 hours after surgery

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Change in postoperative nausea assessed with a Questionnaire

    4, 12, 24, 36 and 48 hours after surgery

Study Arms (2)

Pulmonary recruitment maneuver

EXPERIMENTAL
