Effect of Percutaneous Electrical Acupoint Stimulation on the Improvement of Incidence of Adverse Respiratory Events

In this study, the traditional acupoints Taiyuan (LU9) on the lung meridian and Hegu (LI4) on the large intestine meridian were selected. The lung and large intestine meridians are interconnected, so the combined application of Taiyuan and Hegu acupoints with TEAS can produce a synergistic effect. This combination enhances the replenishment of lung qi, promotes the flow of meridians, regulates qi, and disseminates lung functions. It can stimulate effective breathing in patients, thus positively influencing the improvement of their oxygen saturation levels.
