the Effect of Transcutaneous Electrical Acupoint Stimulation on Postoperative Gastrointestinal Dysfunction After Urological Laparoscopic Surgery

"Before the operation, the patient received transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation (TEAS) at bilateral Zusanli (ST 36), Neiguan (PC 6), and Ciliao (BL 32) acupoints with sterilized electrode patches. The stimulation intensity and current intensity that gave the patient an effective pricking sensation (Qi arrival) were maintained for 30 minutes. The stimulation method in the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) was consistent with that before the operation."

Before the operation, disinfection patches with electrodes were applied to Zusanli (ST 36), Neiguan (PC 6), and Ciliao (BL 32) acupointst, but no electrical stimulation was conducted. The stimulation method in the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) was the same as that before the operation.
