Abstract:
Abstract: Objective To investigate the gastrointestinal peristalsis after acupoint application combined with transcutaneous acupoint electrical stimulation following laparoscopic surgery. Methods A total of 116 patients who were scheduled for laparoscopic surgery were selected as the research objects. According to random number table method, the research subjects were divided into observation group (58 cases) and control group (58 cases). Both groups of patients underwent laparoscopic surgery. The patients in observation group were given acupoint application combined with transcutaneous acupoint electrical stimulation, while those in control group were treated by transcutaneous acupoint electrical stimulation only. The treatment effect, motilin level before and after surgery, gastrointestinal peristalsis related indexes, and the incidences of nausea and vomiting and abdominal distension within 3 days after surgery were compared between two groups. Results The effective rate of observation group was 96.55%, which was significantly higher than 79.31% of control group (P<0.05). The recovery time of gastrointestinal peristalsis, time to first exhaust and time to first defecation in observation group were shorter than those in control group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in presurgical motilin level between two groups (P>0.05). However, at 1, 2, and 3 days after surgery, the motilin level in observation group was higher than those in control group (P<0.05). Compared with that before surgery, the motilin level in observation group was significantly decreased at 1 and 2 days after surgery (P<0.05), and then returned to the level before surgery at 3 days after surgery, without significant difference (P>0.05). The motilin level in control group at 1, 2 and 3 days after surgery were significantly lower than that before surgery (P<0.05). The incidences of nausea, vomiting, and abdominal distension within 3 days after surgery in observation group were lower than those in control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Acupoint application combined with transcutaneous acupoint electrical stimulation can effectively improve the gastrointestinal peristalsis after laparoscopic surgery, enhance gastric motility, promote the functional recovery of gastrointestinal peristalsis as soon as possible, and reduce the incidences of nausea, vomiting and abdominal distension after surgery, worthy for clinical application.
