Randomized Controlled TrialThe effect of heated humidified carbon dioxide on postoperative pain, core temperature, and recovery times in patients having laparoscopic surgery: a randomized controlled trial.
To determine whether use of heated humidified carbon dioxide as insufflation gas during gynecologic laparoscopy reduced postoperative pain and hypothermia. ⋯ The use of heated humidified carbon dioxide insufflation for short-duration gynecologic laparoscopy up to 90 minutes' duration was not associated with any significant benefit with regard to postoperative pain, hypothermia, or time of recovery room stay.
