- Abstract: Objective To evaluate the efficacy of preoperative electroacupuncture intervention in promoting postoperative gastrointestinal functional recovery by meta-analysis.Methods The databases of PubMed,Cochrane Library,Web of Science,Embase,CBM,CNKI,VIP,and WanFang were searched systematically.The search period ranged from the inception of the databases to March 2024.Two researchers screened the literature independently,extracted the data,used Cochrane Risk of Bias tools to evaluate the quality of the inclusion study,and used RevMan 5.3 software for meta-analysis.Results Twelve RCTs were included,with 773 patients.There were 421 patients in the preoperative electroacupuncture group and 352 patients in the control group.The results of the meta-analysis showed that,time to first flatus(SMD=-0.56,95%CI-0.84 to-0.28,P＜0.001),time to first defecation(MD=-6.40 hours,95%CI-9.27 to-3.53,P＜0.001),time to bowel sound recovery(MD=-8.45 hours,95%CI-10.37 to-6.52,P＜0.001),time to first oral feeding(MD=-16.88 hours,95%CI-23.92 to-9.83,P＜0.001),the incidence of PONV(RR=0.75,95%CI 0.57 to 0.98,P=0.04)and length of hospital stay(MD=-0.78 d,95%CI-1.38 to-0.19,P=0.010)were significantly lower than the control group.Conclusion Electroacupuncture intervention before operation can effectively promote the recovery of post-operative exhaust,defecation,and bowel sound,shorten the time of fasting and drinking,reduce the inci-dence of PONV,shorten the length of hospital stay,and has good clinical value in promoting the recovery of postoperative gastrointestinal function.
