Abstract:
Enhance recovery after surgery (ERAS) is an emerging discipline aiming to reduce perioperative stress response and postoperative complications and promote better and faster recovery of patients. In this study, the potential value and feasibility of acupuncture in ERAS is discussed from three aspects: acupuncture can reduce the demand of perioperative analgesic drugs, improve the postoperative gastrointestinal function, and prevent and treat postoperative complications. The combination of acupuncture and ERAS can better promote the rehabilitation of patients, complement the advantages of acupuncture and ERAS, and promote the development of acupuncture and ERAS.
