Summary

The present study aims to investigate the effect of postoperative trendelenburg position versus warm pad application and deep breathing technique on shoulder pain intensity and post gynaecologic laparoscopic recovery

Conditions

  • Gynecologic Nursing
  • Postoperative Pain

Interventions

OTHER

Trendelenburg Position

Group 1 (trendlenburg position group) in which the women will be positioned in a Trendelenburg position (20 °) once fully awake and cooperative in the recovery room and will remain in this posture for the first 24 hrs postoperatively. The maximum time allowed in a straight-up position will be three 15-min intervals over a 24-h period.

OTHER

Warm Pad Application

• Group 2 (warm pad application group) in this group warm pad (38◦C -40◦C) will be applied on the shoulder after four hours postoperatively for a period of 5-10 minutes. Each woman will be asked to place heat pads when needed during the first 24 hours.

BEHAVIORAL

Deep Breathing Exercise

• Group 3: (deep breathing group) the researcher will instruct women after the end of surgery and upon consciousness to take slowly deep breathing while observing her chest and hold her breath for about 5 seconds and then exhale slowly, repeating this deep breathing technique five times after full vigilance within the first 3 hours after surgery. Then, the process will be repeated 6, 12, and 24 h later. The patient will be instructed about this type of breathing before surgery by researchers.
