Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Evaluation of pain after laparoscopic cholecystectomy with visual analogue scale in deep breathing group, pranayama group and control groups.

  On the visual analogue scale, 0 points mean no pain, and 10 points mean unbearable pain.

  Pain was evaluated before surgery. After surgery, pain was evaluated before and after exercise, at the 6th hour, 12th hour, 24th hour and at discharge.

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Evaluation of sleep of patients after laparoscopic cholecystectomy with the Richard Campbell Sleep Scale

  The sleep quality of the patients was measured before the surgery and in the morning of the second day of the surgery.
