【 摘 要 】

BackgroundPost-laparoscopic shoulder pain (PLSP) is a common complication following laparoscopic surgeries. This meta-analysis aimed to investigate whether pulmonary recruitment maneuver (PRM) was beneficial to alleviated shoulder pain after laparoscopic procedures.MethodsWe reviewed existing literature in the electronic database from the date of inception to January 31, 2022. The relevant RCTs were independently selected by two authors, after which data extraction, assessment of the risk of bias, and comparison of results.ResultsThis meta-analysis included 14 studies involving 1504 patients, among which 607 patients were offered pulmonary recruitment maneuver (PRM) alone or in combination with intraperitoneal saline instillation (IPSI), while 573 patients were treated with passive abdominal compression. The administration of PRM significantly decreased the post-laparoscopic shoulder pain score at 12 h (MD (95%CI) − 1.12(–1.57, − 0.66), n = 801, P < 0.001, I2 = 88%); 24 h (MD (95%CI) − 1.45(–1.74, − 1.16), n = 1180, P < 0.001, I2 = 78%) and at 48 h (MD (95%CI) − 0.97(–1.57, − 0.36), n = 780, P < 0.001, I2 = 85%). We observed high heterogeneity in the study and analyzed the sensitivity but failed to identify the cause of the heterogeneity, which may have resulted from the different methodologies and clinical factors in the included studies.ConclusionThis systematic review and meta-analysis indicate that PRM can reduce the intensity of PLSP. More studies may be needed to explore the usefulness of PRM in more laparoscopic operations besides gynecological surgeries and determine the optimal pressure of PRM or its appropriate combination with other measures. The results of this meta-analysis should be interpreted with caution owing to the high heterogeneity between the analyzed studies.
