Brief Summary:
With the development of surgical techniques laparoscopic appendectomy has become a standard therapeutic procedure for acute appendicitis in many hospitals in recent years which is considered as an effective and safe treatment option in children Even so patients still experience gastrointestinal dysfunction after surgery which is one of the most common complications in patients who have undergone major abdominal surgery The application of laparoscopy reduces trauma in some degree however postoperative nausea and vomiting PONV abdominal distension fart and delayed bowel movement caused by postoperative gastrointestinal dysfunctionPGD severely disturb patients and seriously affect the quality of patients postoperative recovery Previous studies have shown that the incidence of PGD can be as high as 10-30 For PGD the main treatment options include the use of gastric dynamics promoting drug non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug gastrointestinal GI decompression nutritional support and so forth However the effect of these treatments is limited and there are varying degrees of adverse reactions which indirectly leads to the low satisfaction of patients Acupuncture is a form of traditional Chinese medicine and has unique advantages in the treatment of PGD which have gradually obtained more acceptance from physicians as an alternative therapy While transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation TEAS is one of the acupuncture-related technologies and can allow for accurate control of stimulation parameters For this reason it is helpful for quantitative research and widely practiced in China Many studies have shown that TEAS combining with anesthetics can significantly enhance the analgesic effect and reduce the dosage of anesthetics and can offer certain beneficial effects such as alleviating preoperative anxiety and reducing postoperative pain and PONV by lessening need for anesthetic usage It also has been found to help protect the brain heart and other tissues with positive benefits for gastrointestinal function by regulating vasoactive intestinal peptide levels In practice however the current TEAS study focused on adultswith relatively little research on their use in children Because of that we applied TEAS for use in our study to observe the effect of TEAS in childrens laparoscopic surgery and explore its possible mechanism
