Abstract: Objective To explore the causes of shoulder pain in patients after laparoscopic surgery and observe the curative effects of short-term oxygen therapy on relieving shoulder pain in patients after gynecological laparoscopic surgery, so as to provide references for postoperative care. Methods A total of 200 cases of gynecological laparoscopic surgeries were randomly selected. On the first day after operation, low-flow oxygen therapy was given for 2 hours. Patients' shoulder pain was observed before and after the oxygen inhalation, and visual analogue scale (VAS) was used to evaluated the pain. Results The difference of VAS score of patients between before and after oxygen therapy was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusions Oxygen therapy on the first day after gynecological laparoscopic surgery can relieve the shoulder pain of patients.
