快针刺激足三里对腹部非胃肠手术患者术后胃肠功能的影响

目的：探讨快针刺激足三里对腹部非胃肠手术患者术后胃肠功能的影响。方法应用随机单盲法将开腹非胃肠手术患者随机分为治疗组18例、对照组19例，2组均于手术后第1天起每日早晚7：00－8：00点，分别给予双侧足三里快针刺激治疗及穴位浅刺安慰针对照治疗各1 min，直至患者排气排便或至术后第5日晚针刺后停止。结果治疗组针感值明显大于对照组(5.7±3.0)比(2.7±2.2)；t＝-3.471，P＝0.001]。治疗组术后首次排气排便时间(65.9±18.1)h 比(85.0±24.5)h；t＝2.682，P＝0.011]较对照组明显缩短；术后第5天治疗组患者腹胀程度较对照组明显减轻(P＝0.006)。结论快针刺激足三里穴可促进腹部非胃肠手术患者术后胃肠功能恢复，减轻术后腹胀程度。

Effect of fast acupuncture at Zusanli (ST36) on the recovery of gastrointestinal function after ;abdominal non-gastrointestinal surgery

Objective To observe the effect of fast acupuncture at Zusanli(ST36) on the recovery of gastrointestinal function after abdominal non-gastrointestinal surgery. Methods In this randomised placebo-controlled single-blind clinical trial, patients received abdominal non-gastrointestinal surgery were assigned to a treatment group and a control group. The treatment group received fast acupuncture and the control group received superficial conciliative acupuncture. The acupuncture was taken at both sides of Zusanli (ST36) for 1 minute respectively during 7-8 a.m. and 7-8 p.m..We began from the first postoperative day and stopped when the patients got initial postoperative flatus or stool, or at the end of the fifth postoperative day. Results 37 controlled patients were assigned to the treatment group (18 patients) and the control group (19 patients) randomly. There were no differences on general information between the two groups. The treatment group had stronger feeling than the control group on the comparison of the acupuncture sensation level (5.7 ± 3.0 vs. 2.7 ± 2.2;t=-3.471, P=0.001). For the treatment group, the initial postoperative flatus or stool time is 19 hours earlier than the control group (65.9 ± 18.1 h vs. 85.0 ± 24.5 h; t=2.682, P=0.011). And the treatment group patients’ postoperative abdominal distension is lesser than the control group (P=0.006). Conclusion Fast acupuncture at Zusanli(ST36) can promote the recovery of gastrointestinal function after abdominal non-gastrointestinal surgery, and can also lighten the patients’ postoperative abdominal distension.
