Abstract:
Objective Toobserve the effects of rheum officinale midnight-noon and ebb-flow doctrine (MNEFD) acupoint application on bowel preparation before colonoscopy for constipation patients.Methods A total of 66 cases met the inclusion criteria were collected and divided into control and observation groups with 33 cases in each group using randomized controlled method .Rhubarb MNEFD acupoint application and routine bowel preparation were used for observation group , while routine bowel preparation alone was employed in the control group.The intestinal cleansing effects , the first exhaust and defecation time , the time required to reach a fecal residue-free level and the patients′tolerance to bowl preparation were observed .Meanwhile, the safety of bowl preparation for colonoscopy among constipation patients was assessed as well after the intervention .Results In observation group , 31 cases of patients were confirmed with intestinal cleansing grade I and II , and 32 cases of patients were with intestinal tolerance grade I and II; while they were 30 and 31 in the control group .The difference of satisfaction and intestinal tolerance level of bowl preparation between two groups were significant (χ2 =12.321,9.524;P <0.01).The first exhaust and defecation time were (74.73 ±44.634) min and (75.79 ±46.219)min for patients in the observation group without significant difference compared with that of control group (P>0.05).The bowl preparation time for patients in the observation group was (251.79 ± 72.738)min, shorter than that of control group (294.06 ±55.411)min (P<0.05); intestinal tolerance level was better than that of control group ( P <0.01 ) .Conclusions Rhubarb MNEFD acupoint application can improve the effects of intestinal cleansing and increase the tolerance level of patients for bowl preparation with respect to a shortened time for fecal to reach residue-free at certain level .
