Aims: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a popular surgery which, despite its many advantages, also has complications. One of the common complications of laparoscopy is postoperative pain in the shoulders. Several factors have been effective in the occurrence and reduction of this complication, and the purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between the number of times the CO2 filter is used and the patient's shoulder pain.
Materials & Methods: This is a quasi-experimental study in which 45 candidates for laparoscopic cholecystectomy surgery who met the inclusion criteria were examined. Study subjects were assigned to three groups by a permuted block randomization. In one group, the filter was used for the first time, in the second group, the filter was used twice, and in the third group, the filter was used three times. Then, patients' shoulder pain after surgery was measured with a visual analog pain scale. 20 version of SPSS software was used to analyze the data.
Findings: The results showed that there was a statistically significant difference in right shoulder pain in 1,3,6,12 hour after surgery in three groups. In such a way that those who used a reusable filter experienced more shoulder pain than patients who used a disposable filter (P<0.05).
Conclusion: According to the findings of the study, the use of a disposable filter is recommended to reduce the pain of patients.
