Fig. 3 Development of pain intensity over the first 48 hours after surgery. Mean NRS score differed significantly between the groups 24 hours after surgery (2.28 ± 1.65 in the PRM group versus 3.31 ± 2.09 in the control group; P = .002). PRM = pulmonary recruitment maneuver; NRS = numeric rating scale.
