To explore the effect of auricular point pressure on anesthetic recovery in the patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
Methods
2
One hundred and forty patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy were randomized into a trial group (52 cases
2 cases dropped out) and a control group (52 cases
2 cases were eliminated). In the control group
the conventional anesthesia program and recovery intervention were adopted. In the trial group
on the basis of the regimen as the control group
the intervention of auricular point pressure was supplemented. The auricular points on the right side were selected
including sympathetic (AH
6a
)
brain (subcortex
AT
4
)
thalamus
exciting point
heart and sore center. One day before operation
the auricular point pressure started; and the auricular points were stimulated specially before anesthesia (T0)
at the moment of operation ending (T1)
when entering the recovery room
at the moment of the tube removal (T2) and in 10 min of the tube removal (T3)
respectively; each auricular point was pressed for 1 min a time. The recovery time of spontaneous breathing
the time of eye opening
the removal time of endotracheal tube
the recovery time of orientation
and the time of exiting recovery room were compared between the two groups. The score of pain visual analogue scale (VAS) and that of Richmond agitation-sedation scale (RASS) at T2
T3 and when exiting recovery room (T4)
and the relevant circulatory indexes (heart rate [HR
]
systolic blood pressure [SBP
]
diastolic blood pressure [DBP
]
and mean arterial pressure [MAP
]
) at T0
T1
T2 and T3 were observed in the two groups.
Results
2
In the trial group
the recovery time of spontaneous breathing
the time of eye opening
the removal time of endotracheal tube
the recovery time of orientation
the time of exiting recovery room were shorter than those of the control group (
P
<
0.01
P
<
0.05). The pain VAS and RASS scores at T2
T3 and T4
as well as HR
SBP
DBP and MAP at T0
T1
T2 and T3 were not different statistically between the two groups (
P
>
0.05).
Conclusion
2
Auricular point pressure can shorten the recovery time from anesthesia in the patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
