Summary

Depression can significantly affect postoperative rehabilitation quality and increase the mortality of patients who receive video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). This study intend to evaluate the transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation (TEAS) of VATS safety and the efficacy of the postoperative depression compared to a sham group.

Conditions

  • Depression After Video-assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation

After entering the operating room, an experienced traditional Chinese medicine doctor will locate the bilateral Shenmen, Neiguan, Hegu, Chize, and Anmian acupoints, and sham acupoints. The target treatment acupoints will be wiped with 75% ethanol, and after the ethanol had evaporated, electrode pads (50 × 50 mm) will be placed and fixed according to the different groups. Thirty minutes before anesthesia, a TAES stimulator (Hwato Electronic Acupuncture Treatment Instrument, model no: SDZ-III; Suzhou Medical Appliances Co. Ltd, Suzhou, China) will be connected with a frequency setting of 2/10 Hz (2 Hz for 10 s and 10 Hz for 5 s), in dense-disperse mode. The current intensity will be set according to the patient's maximum tolerance and muscle twitching and continued until the end of the surgery.

BEHAVIORAL

Sham-TAES

After entering the operating room, an experienced traditional Chinese medicine doctor will locate the bilateral sham acupoints. The Sham acupoints is 4 cm interior to the bilateral Shenmen, Neiguan, Hegu, Chize, and Anmian acupoints. The sham acupoints will be wiped with 75% ethanol, and after the ethanol had evaporated, electrode pads (50 × 50 mm) will be placed and fixed according to the different groups. Thirty minutes before anesthesia, a TAES stimulator (Hwato Electronic Acupuncture Treatment Instrument, model no: SDZ-III; Suzhou Medical Appliances Co. Ltd, Suzhou, China) will be connected with a frequency setting of 2/10 Hz (2 Hz for 10 s and 10 Hz for 5 s), in dense-disperse mode. The current intensity will be set according to the patient's maximum tolerance and muscle twitching and continued until the end of the surgery
