Abstract:
Objective:To evaluate the effect of transcutaneous electrical stimulation of different acupoints on pulmonary ventilation function in the patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.Methods:Sixty American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients of both sexes, aged 18-64 yr, with body mass index of 18.5-25.0 kg/m 2, undergoing elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy, were divided into 3 groups ( n=20 each) using a random number table method: control group (group C), Zusanli-Sanyinjiao group (group S 1) and Feishu-Chize group (group S 2). Pulmonary ventilation function was monitored by electrical impedance tomography after admission to the operating room, group S 1 and group S 2 underwent transcutaneous electrical stimulation of bilateral Zusanli-Sanyinjiao and Feishu-Chize acupoints at 30 min before induction of anesthesia, with disperse-dense waves, a frequency of 2/100 Hz and the wave width of 0.6 ms at 2 Hz and 0.2 ms at 100 Hz.The intensity of stimulation was the maximum current that patients could tolerate.In group C, electrodes were only placed without electrical stimulation.The percentages of area in center of ventilation (CoV) and tidal volume in the dependent areas were determined on admission to the operating room (T 1), at 5 min after tracheal intubation (T 2), at 15 min after pneumoperitoneum (T 3), and at 30 min after removal of the tracheal tube (T 4). The extubation time and development of hypoxemia and atelectasis within 48 h after tracheal extubation were recorded. Results:Compared with the baseline at T 1, the percentages of area in CoV and tidal volume in dependent areas at T 3-4 were significantly decreased in S 1 and S 2 groups ( P<0.05). Compared with group C, the percentage of tidal volume in dependent areas at T 4 was significantly increased, and the extubation time and incidence of hypoxemia and atelectasis within 48 h after tracheal extubation were decreased in S 1 and S 2 groups ( P<0.05). Compared with group S 1, the percentage of tidal volume in dependent areas at T 4 was significantly increased, and the incidence of hypoxemia within 48 h after tracheal extubation was decreased in group S 2 ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The efficacy of transcutaneous electrical stimulation of Feishu-Chize acupoints in improving pulmonary ventilation function is better than that of Zusanli-Sanyinjiao acupoints in the patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
