Summary

1. Research name: Effects of intraoperative stimulation of acupoints on postoperative gastrointestinal motility recovery in patients undergoing non-gastrointestinal abdominal surgery.
2. Research center: Multicenter research
3. Research design: A randomized controlled study method would be used in this study, in which the investigators would provide electroacupuncture on the basis of general anesthesia for non-gastrointestinal abdominal surgery. The effects of electroacupuncture on postoperative gastrointestinal motility recovery in patients undergoing non-gastrointestinal abdominal surgery will be observed and compared with the control group.
4. Research population: Patients who are greater or equal to 18 years old and less than 64 years old , meanwhile intend to receive selective/limited non-gastrointestinal surgery under general anesthesia.
5. Number of participants: 600
6. Interventions: The treatment group received electroacupuncture intervention 30 minutes before induction of anesthesia. In the treatment group, bilateral Neiguan point, bilateral Zusanli point and bilateral Hegu point were selected, then electroacupuncture was applied and the needle was retained until the end of operation. The control group was treated with non-acupoint shallow acupuncture method. The needle was inserted 5 cm beside the acupoint and the needling depth was less than 2 mm. At the same time, the manual stimulation was avoided, "Deqi" was not obtained, electroacupuncture was applied, electric current was regulated, and the needle was retained until the end of the operation.

Conditions

  • Gastrointestinal Dysfunction

Interventions

DEVICE

acupuncture treatment

TAES treatment 30 minutes before induction of anesthesia. Bilateral Neiguan（PC6）, bilateral Zusanli（ST36）and bilateral Hegu （LI4）point were selected by electroacupuncture stimulation apparatus (HANS G6805-2, Huayi Co, Shanghai, China).After "Deqi", electroacupuncture stimulation apparatus is connected and maintained until the end of operation.

DEVICE

sham acupuncture treatment

Participants in the sham acupuncture group received shallow needling (0.30mm×25mm) at bilateral sham points(nonacupoints located 5cm beside acupoints, about 20mm). The control group was treated with non-acupoint shallow acupuncture method and the needling depth was less than 2 mm. At the same time, the manual stimulation and "Deqi" was avoided.
