Abstract:
Objective:To explore the clinical application value of press-needle assisted sedation therapy in sedation treatment of intensive care unit (ICU) under bispectral index (BIS) monitoring.Methods:A total of 30 critically ill patients admitted to the ICU of the China-Japan Friendship Hospital from July 2024 to January 2025 were selected. A prospective self before-after control method was used. On the basis of conventional analgesic and sedative drug treatment, traditional Chinese medicine press-needles were combined to stimulate the head emotion area, Yintang (GV29), Hegu (LI4), Neiguan (PC6), and Zusanli (ST36). The BIS, dosages of remifentanil and propofol, respiratory and circulatory functions, and lactate levels before and after treatment were compared.Results:The BIS value dropped to stability (21.90±13.67)min after press-needle treatment, with a decrease of (5.73±1.42) ( P<0.05). The dosage of propofol within 8 h after press-needle treatment was reduced by (1.08±0.33)mg/kg compared with that before treatment ( P<0.05). There were no significant differences in heart rate, blood pressure, oxygenation index, and lactate level before and after treatment (all P>0.05). Conclusions:Press-needle assisted sedation therapy can improve the sedative effect, reduce the dosage of propofol sedatives, and has good safety.
